So, a few words on chlamydia. Chlamydia is a type of bacteria passed during sexual contact and the world’s most common STD. 70-95% of infected women have no apparent symptoms. Undiagnosed chlamydia is a leading cause of infertility and can lead to pelvic pain and pelvic inflammatory disease. Chlamydia can cause scarring and permanent damage to the tissues of the uterus, ovaries, cervix, uterine tubes, rectum, throat, epididymis, and urinary tract. It can also affect the eyes.
Chlamys is Greek for cloak. Chlamydia must cloak itself in another cell to multiply. Because it’s cloaked, the patrolling immune cells have difficulty recognizing and destroying them. Chlamydia can linger for decades without apparent symptoms.
Medication will stop the infection if taken correctly, but it will not repair any permanent damage done by the disease. Early treatment is imperative. Prevention is even better for preventing uterine scarring.
