Chlamydia - is a very common disease transmitted through sexual contact. Most affected is asymptomatic, and people know about it, as a rule, the results of a blood test done on another occasion. Chlamydia affects men and women of all ages, but most often it occurs in young women.

The course of antibiotics

Curing chlamydia is required not only to those who have a blood test for the disease given a positive result, but also to their sexual partners, as well as newborns whose mothers were ill chlamydia during birth.

The most common way to treat chlamydia is to receive a course of antibiotics. With proper receipt and timely beginning of treatment are 95% of help to cure this disease. In some cases, chlamydia can be cured with a single dose of medication, sometimes the treatment should last up to two weeks. The most common treatment for chlamydia appoint the following drugs:

• Azithromycin (single dose)
• Doxycycline (usually should take two capsules daily for one or two weeks).

Much less chlamydia treated using antibiotics such as ofloxacin, amoxicillin and erythromycin Erythromycin - if you are allergic to penicillin . It is important to take antibiotics for as long as recommended by the doctor. Antibiotics may weaken the effect of combined contraceptives - both tablets and patches. If you use these methods of contraception, talk to your doctor about what additional funds may be used to prevent pregnancy during treatment. However, it would be better if you completely give up sex for a while, until taking antibiotics.

If you have found chlamydia during pregnancy need to be treated anyway. Azithromycin, amoxicillin and erythromycin are safe for the future mother and the fetus.

Side effects of treatment

Side effects of these antibiotics Antibiotics - whether they will help you in the foreseeable future?   It can be a pain in the stomach, diarrhea, and general malaise. Doxycycline, in addition, may cause fotosenzitivnost - increased sensitivity to sunlight.

Your partner may also need treatment, but in no case do not give him antibiotics that are prescribed by a doctor to you. The same drug is not always suited to two different people with the same diagnosis.

Many doctors recommend that after 3-12 weeks after completion of treatment of chlamydia undergo additional medical examination. In some cases, chlamydia can not be cured with the help of only one course of antibiotics. These surveys help to reduce the risk of complications and recurrent infections.

Home Treatment

At this time, there is no home remedy that could cure chlamydia. Some of these funds may, at best, to stimulate the immune system and slow the progression of complications. However, long-term efforts to treat chlamydia alone can cause the same effects as the complete absence of treatment. In particular, the complications of chlamydia may be pelvic inflammatory disease, an infection of the prostate gland, reactive arthritis Arthritis - a variety of forms and complications   and infertility.

Prevention of infection

To prevent re-infection with chlamydia should use barrier methods of contraception Contraceptive Methods: Ten myths about contraception in the mirror of facts   sexual contact with partners in the health that you are not sure. It is the only truly reliable way to protect against chlamydia and other sexually transmitted diseases by. In addition, it is necessary not less often than once every six months to do a blood test - this will help you as soon as possible to identify chlamydia and other sexually transmitted diseases and early treatment.

In this age of antibiotics is increasingly common chronic asymptomatic genital infections, including gonorrhea. It is on the one hand the result of weakened immunity, and on the other - self. Self-medication has become a real scourge of our times, when one considers that it is not worse than the doctor will be able to understand the rules of appointment of antibacterial drugs.

Basic principles of treatment of chronic gonorrhea

Chronic gonorrhea cure yourself is impossible, since the basic principle of treatment of this disease is a constant laboratory control, both during treatment and after it. If you do not, then it gonokokk once again will hide, and after a while will relapse. It may be another scenario: there are no occurrences of gonorrhea (asymptomatic), and somehow developed infertility. In order to cure infertility is a need to "get to the surface" Hidden gonorrhea and remove it from the body it once and for all.

But detection of gonorrhea a little, you know exactly what is there, and other sexually transmitted infections, which are perfectly combined with gonorrhea. Especially dangerous are chlamydia and trichomonas Trichomonas - leads to infertility Who hide in the cells of the mucous membrane of the sick and hiding behind a striking manifestations of gonorrhea.

Very important medical and laboratory monitoring of treatment. For this monitoring of patients is within two or three months. During this time the "hidden" gonococci trying to identify by various artificial and natural provocation. Natural provocation is menstruating women, artificial - a different kind of irritation of the mucous membrane in the foci of infection.

During the course of treatment of chronic gonorrhea need to punctually perform all the doctor's recommendations: diet (do not eat spicy, smoked, salted, do not drink alcohol), to avoid heavy physical exertion and stop at the time of sexual intercourse. The very course of treatment consists of antibiotics, immunostimulants, strengthening therapy.

Antibiotic therapy

Before prescribe antibiotics when flaccid or asymptomatic disease are appointed provocation - special drugs that provoke the development of disease recurrence. After that, take the study of discharge from the genital organs, detected pathogen and its sensitivity to antibiotics. As a result of this analysis is assigned to an antibacterial treatment. If the analysis is not a reason, against the background of antibiotic therapy Antibiotics - whether they will help you in the foreseeable future? To which the gonococcus does not show a pronounced sensitivity, once again "zamazhutsya" all the symptoms of the disease and gonokokk hide again.

If concomitant infection (gonorrhea, plus chlamydia Chlamydia: insidious and widespread disease   gonorrhea or Trichomonas plus) selected drug that acts directly on both the pathogen. If this is not possible (for example, if the second pathogen Trichomonas, which antibiotics do not work), then the number of drugs that suppress the livelihoods of all identified pathogens.

Immunotherapy

One antibiotic therapy to combat chronic gonorrhea little. It is necessary to further strengthen the body's defenses - the immune system, that is, how to shake the body, causing a worsening of the disease (provocation). Immunotherapy gonococcal infection is divided into specific and nonspecific.

Specific immunotherapy of chronic gonorrhea - is the introduction of gonococcal vaccine. Especially when shown the vaccine erased and asymptomatic forms of the disease, as well as complicated forms, which are the worst thing to treat.

The vaccine is usually administered intramuscularly, followed by a worsening of the disease, which manifests increased discharge, painful urination, itching in the genital area. Can a fever, a headache, and general weakness. When exacerbation gonokokki "come out of hiding" and they are easier to kill with antibiotics.

Enter vaccine is usually in one - two days, all the course up to eight injections. But when expressed the general reaction of the organism (a very high fever, severe) by refusing the vaccine. The vaccine is also contraindicated in severe diseases of the cardiovascular system, high blood pressure Blood pressure - dangerous if his swing? , Severe liver and kidney disease in violation of their functions, any acute diseases, exhaustion (including chronic infections, for example, against tuberculosis), anemia, allergic diseases, menstruation, pregnancy.

Non-specific immunotherapy includes drugs such as pirogenal, prodigiozan that just as the gonococcal vaccine cause exacerbation of the disease. They have the same contraindications as gonococcal vaccine.

There are other drugs that stimulate the body's defenses. Appointed as a restorative treatment.

Treatment of chronic gonorrhea be trusted doctor.
