What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia (pronounced "cla-Mid-ee-uh") is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. It is many times more common than gonorrhea. The bacteria that causes the disease is Chlamydia trachomatis , hence the name, Chlamydia. Approximately 60 to 80% of women will have no noticeable symptoms of an infection, and when symptoms are present they are usually mild. Chlamydia infections are not limited to women. In men, the bacteria can cause infections of the urethra, prostate gland, and rectum, as well as epididymitis, a painful inflammation of the tiny structures inside the testicles where sperm are stored. How is Chlamydia Transmitted? Chlamydia infection is primarily transmitted from person to person through contact with the mucous membranes of the vagina, urethra, rectum or mouth. The chief mode of transmission is sexual intercourse-oral, anal or genital. The infection can be present for long periods of time, even years, without any signs of infection. Is Chlamydia new?

Summary: Symptoms, complications and treatment for the infection known as chlamydia
Text: hlamydia is a bacterial infection of the genitals or anus.
How does someone get infected?
Chlamydia is transmitted by having vaginal or anal sex without a condom, with someone who has the infection.
How long before symptoms develop? Symptoms can occur within 2 - 14 days after infection. However, a person may have chlamydia for months or even years without knowing it. In the unlikely event that a woman does have symptoms, they may include a change in her vaginal secretions, lower abdominal pain or abnormal bleeding. Men may have a urethral discharge, pain upon urinating or urethral irritation. Inflammation of the male urethra caused by chlamydia is known as non-specific urethritis (NSU). Inflammation of a woman's cervix is known as cervicitis.

Symptoms can include abnormal genital discharge (discharge from the vagina, cervix, urethra, anus) and burning during urination. Men can have swelling or pain in the testicles, pain or burning during urination and discharge from the penis.

CHLAMYDIA
Chlamydia (pronounced kla-mid-ee-ah) is a very common bacterial sexually transmitted infection - and one of the more serious. It can spread silently in females and cause a painful, long-term condition called PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) and infertility (the inability to have children). Pregnant women can pass this infection on to their babies at birth, who can then get infections of their eyes or lungs. You can get chlamydia from oral, vaginal or anal sex.
The symptoms and signs
A woman may never know she is infected with chlamydia until she has a test for it or decides to have a baby and has problems trying to become pregnant. For those who develop symptoms, they usually appear one to three weeks after sex with an infected person. Sometimes, the symptoms are so mild that a person may not notice them. Men often have no symptoms and can spread the infection without knowing they have it. It is very important that chlamydia be treated right away.
What to look for
Females:
  • a new or different discharge from the vagina
    a burning feeling when urinating
    pain in the lower abdomen, sometimes with fever and chills

Transcript: Well with all the focus on HIV it's easy to forget that there are much commoner sexually transmissible diseases. In fact the commonest in developed countries like Australia is probably chlamydia. It beats gonorrhoea by a factor of three or four and causes infertility in women and perhaps also in men. Chlamydia's highly infections; if one partner has it, the other is very likely to catch it. One research group which has spent a lot of time looking at better ways of detecting chlamydia in both women and men, is at the University of Washington, Seattle. It's led by Professor Walter Stamm. Walter Stamm: Chlamydia is a bacterium, and there are different types of chlamydia. Chlamydia trachomatis is a very common sexually transmitted disease, and is really what we're focusing on here today.

What is it?

Chlamydia is actually a group of different infections caused by different strains of the Chlamydia bacterium. Though Chlamydia pneumonia can cause a type of walking pneumonia, and Chlamydia psittaci can cause a type of pneumonia caused by birds, it is Chlamydia trachomatis that causes various sexually transmitted diseases. Chlamydia is currently the most common STD. Click on the photos for larger view.

Chlamydia can cause asymptomatic (no symptoms) infections in both men and women. In men it can cause groin pain and swelling (epididymitis) as well as burning on urination (so called, non-gonoccocal urethritis (NGU)). In prepubertal girls, it can cause a mild vaginal discharge and odor (called vaginitis); in postpubertal women it can cause an off-white discharge and odor which comes from an infected cervix . In women, it can be especially dangerous because it can silently linger for months and progress to

What is chlamydia?
Chlamydia, which is caused by the microorganism Chlamydia Trachomatis is a common bacterial STD. Chlamydia is a major cause of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU), cervicitis, bacterial vaginitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Chlamydia infections may have very mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, so they are often overlooked. However, left untreated these infections can lead to serious damage to the reproductive organs, particularly in women.
What transmits chlamydia?
Chlamydia infections are usually transmitted during contact with the genital, mouth, or rectal area of an infected person. Chlamydia is not transmitted through casual contact (toilet seats, hot tubs, saunas, or swimming pools). A person can be infected, not have symptoms, and transmit chlamydia without knowing it.
Is it easy to recognize a chlamydia infection?
Up to 75 percent of women and 50 percent of men with uncomplicated chlamydia infection have no symptoms or signs of infection. If symptoms do occur, they typically appear within one to three weeks after exposure to an infected person and may include the following:
