Chlamydia is a serious and widespread infectious disease. They get sick at different ages, but most of all it affects young people. And this is logical, because the main method of transmission of the disease is sexual contact.
This disease is especially dangerous for the fairer sex. Many people do not know that he is sick, because the disease is often asymptomatic. There are no clear statistics on the incidence of chlamydia. However, the disease is much more common than other STDs.
In the article, we will consider the symptoms of discharge in chlamydia in women. We cannot provide a photo for aesthetic reasons.
So, the discharge can be of completely different colors - from transparent to yellow-green. It all depends on the time of infection and the severity of the pathology.
Reason for selections
WhenIn chlamydia, the main cause of discharge is cells infected with the microorganism Chlamydia. When they die, together with the products of the functioning of chlamydia and intercellular fluid, they form a mucous environment emanating from the urethra.
In the human body, bacteria go this way:
- getting on the mucous membrane of the body - infection and rooting in cells;
- reproduction inside cells, which leads to rupture of the membranes of the affected cells and their death;
- inflammation of the mucosa - after being released from dead cells, chlamydia "attacks" he althy cells, which leads to infection.
The question of what kind of discharge for chlamydia worries many women. In a he althy woman, the discharge has a yellow-white tint and practically does not smell, sometimes it can be sour, with chlamydia they become:
- sticky and watery;
- colorless, sometimes white;
- not abundant, stick to the wall of the cervix and only a doctor can detect them;
- bloody and brown, may occur with complications due to neglect of the disease.
Also keep in mind that:
- The secret does not acquire a characteristic smell;
- impurities with pus - the first signal of complications.
Chlamydia symptoms
The symptoms of the infection are, unfortunately, not pronounced, in 45-65% of those infected the disease develops without any obvious symptoms, which greatly complicatesdiagnostic process. It should be noted that the symptoms of chlamydia begin to appear after the incubation period, which lasts from 2 to 3 weeks.
The main symptoms that can signal the development of chlamydia are:
- painful urination;
- mild lower abdominal pain;
- itching and burning sensation in the genital area;
- discharge from the urethra (in men) and the vagina (in women). At the same time, the discharge in men is quite scarce, has a transparent color. In women, vaginal discharge, on the contrary, is either mucous or mucopurulent with a yellowish tint, characterized by an unpleasant odor;
- weakness and a slight increase in body temperature up to 37 degrees (this temperature is typical for the inflammatory process).
It should also be said that the above symptoms of infection disappear by themselves after two to three weeks, even without adequate treatment. However, the disease itself does not go away, but becomes chronic, and immunity to re-infection is not developed.
Chlamydia drug treatment
Chlamydia is an infectious disease that occurs as a result of infection by the microorganism chlamydia. This disease can be sexually transmitted, and it is highly contagious and difficult to treat.
Medical treatment of chlamydia should be chosen only after diagnosis, taking into account the symptoms of the disease and the complexity of the developing inflammation. Also into accounttake the results of the immunogram, general tests and some additional studies. This venereal pathology is treated with a course that lasts about 3 weeks, but in difficult cases, it may take a little longer. The fact is that chlamydia is far from being able to respond to the introduction of certain medications in all cases.
After chlamydia treatment, the discharge should disappear. If this does not happen, the therapy continues.
Antibacterial
These drugs are divided into 2 groups:
- teteracyclines;
- macrolides.
Even the most expensive treatment regimen will not cure chlamydia without antibiotics. Nowadays, treatment is carried out according to two eradication schemes:
- Using 3 drugs - 1 proton pump drug and two types of antibiotics.
- Combination of 2 antibacterials, an antisecretory agent, and bismuth.
Macrolides
For the treatment of chronic and acute chlamydia, macrolide antibiotics are usually used. These drugs contain a lactone ring, which allows drugs to penetrate deeper and accumulate in diseased cells.
Typically, the following remedies are used to treat chlamydia:
- Erythromycin;
- Midecamycin;
- "Vilprafen";
- Clarbact;
- Azithromycin;
- Roxithromycin, etc.
Tetracyclines
Drugs of this group can be prescribed for a mild form of chlamydia. The use of tablets "Doxycycline" and "Tetracycline" is shown. The first drug can be replaced by the following: Vibramycin or Dorix. Also recommended is Unidox Solutab, the medicinal form of which increases the bioavailability of the drug by almost 90%.
It is very important that the course of treatment for chlamydia is prescribed by the attending physician, since self-medication can cause rather unpleasant consequences and be harmful to he alth.
