Chlamydia is one of the most common std found in the U.S. It affects about 4million individuals every year. It remains one of the most illusive diseases as it tends to remain asymptomatic and hidden in 50 % of males and 75% of females. It is up to the obgyn doctor to help detect this disease by doing yearly cultures at the time of the annual exam.
However, an individual can harbor this organsim and not know about it for many years. It tends to emerge when one is on the period. It can also appear at other times with symptoms of vaginal discharge, vaginal odor, intermenstrual bleeding, or pelvic pains. When it involves the pelvis, an individual gets PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). This can lead to sterility and if untreated even death.
Simple antibiotics can help destroy this organism and safe sex behavior can help prevent this disease.
