Chlamydia

Let's talk about something that is SLIENT but DANGEROUS! Chlamydia is the most common STI in the U.S. Any sexual active person can be infected with the disease. Chlamydia can damage a woman's reproductive organs. Chlamydia can also discharge from the penis of an infected man. Chlamydia is most frequently reported in the United States. The disease is transmitted through vaginal, anal and oral sex. The symptoms of Chlamydia are known as "silent" disease because majority of the infected people have no symptoms. If any symptoms they usually occur within one to three weeks. In women the disease infects the cervix and urine canal. Men just have the burning sensation. If Chlamydia is left untreated then it can lead into other serious health problems. In women the untreated infection can spread to the uterus of the fallopian tubes and cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Complications among men are very rare. Chlamydia can easily be prevented by abstaining from sexual contact or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship and get tested regularly. If you are sexually active, using latex condoms can reduce the risk of transmission of Chlamydia.
