What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that affects both men and women. It is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia usually affects the sexual organs, but can also occur in the anus, mouth, and even eyes. Chlamydia is easily treatable when caught early. If left untreated, it may lead serious health problems such as Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and ectopic pregnancy in women.
Transmission
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. It can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Genital infection can also be passed from an infected mother to the baby during vaginal childbirth.
Prevention
The use of condoms and other protective measures may reduce the chance of infection but does not eliminate it completely. Using latex condoms consistently and correctly - from the very beginning of sexual contact until there is no longer skin contact - reduces the risk of transmission of chlamydia.
Symptoms in Men Include
- Burning and itching around the opening of the penis
- Pain with urination

Treatment
Azithromycin 1g by mouth in a single dose
or
Doxycycline 100 mg by mouth twice daily for 7 to 14 days
Your doctor will prescribe oral antibiotics if you are diagnosed with chlamydia. The most frequent treatments are a single dosage of azithromycin or taking doxycycline twice daily for 7 to 14 days.
The infection should clear up in approximately a week with treatment. Do not have sex for at least 7 days after you've finished all of your antibiotics, and don't stop taking them just because you're feeling better.
To prevent reinfection and the transmission of the disease, your doctor will also advise that you and your partner(s) be treated.
Serious infections, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, may necessitate a prolonged antibiotic treatment or hospitalization.
