Chlamydia is the most frequently reported sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the USA. The disease is caused by bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis (one of the species in the bacterial genus Chlamydia that is found in humans). The name is pronounced kluh-mid-ee-uh and it comes from the Greek word that means "cloak".
Chlamydia trachomatis can damage a woman's reproductive organs, which is the reason why women should deal with the problem as soon as possible. Symptoms of chlamydia are often undetectable. They might be mild or absent, but the bacteria can cause some serious complications that result in irreversible damage to the reporductive organs, including infertility. This may occur before a woman ever recognizes a problem. Women are often reinfected if their sex partners do not get the right type of treatment. Between 50%-75% of all women infected with chlamydia have no symptoms and do not know that they run the risk of developing a serious health condition.
Men are not immune from chlamydia. In infected men, the disease can cause discharge from the penis.
The treatment for chlamydia is usually azithromycin 1g or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for seven days.
