Once chlamydia enters human cells, it can propagate into the blood after different development stages, infect people and animals, and cause various diseases. It can exist in the conjunctiva, pharynx, cervix, urethra and other parts of the human body, and it can also exist in semen, urine and feces, so chlamydia infection can be spread through sexual intercourse or daily contact. Such as clothes and utensils contaminated by hands, eyes or patients, or placental and perinatal transmission.
What disease can chlamydia suffer from? The survey found that half of the women suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease were caused by chlamydia infection, and 44.2% of infertile women could detect chlamydia antibodies, which was an important reason for infertility. In addition, chlamydia can also cause abortion, premature delivery and stillbirth in pregnant women, as well as pneumonia, nongonococcal urethritis, cervicitis, endometritis, salpingitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and proctitis. It can also spread through sexual contact, infect male urethra, cause idiopathic epididymitis, prostatitis and proctitis, and lead to male infertility. About 70% of patients with chlamydia infection have no obvious symptoms, and some patients have mild clinical manifestations. Therefore, when women have increased leucorrhea, purulent leucorrhea, bleeding after sexual intercourse, and men have symptoms of urethral irritation, they should go to the hospital in time.
Prevention and treatment are the key to chlamydia infection. Chlamydia is sensitive to heat, and can only survive for 5 ~ 10 minutes at 56 ~ 60℃ (that is, when hands feel hot in water). After drying the polluted towels and pots 1 hour, chlamydia can be killed with 75% alcohol and 5% soap solution. If one spouse is infected with chlamydia, the other spouse should be examined and treated at the same time. It is best to take the medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Rifampicin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, doxycycline and sulfanilamide are commonly used therapeutic drugs.
