Chlamydia is a dangerous sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria Chlamydia Trachomatis. It can affect both men and women and primarily causes inflammation and infection of the genital tract.
Chlamydia is primarily spread through unprotected vaginal, anal and oral sex with an infected person.
Chlamydia can go unrecognised in most people due to not causing symptoms. However it can lead to serious complications such as Pelvic inflammatory disease (for women), infertility (for both genders) and reactive arthritis (for both genders).
Diagnosing if chlamydia is present and treating it as soon as possible is essential for good sexual health. You can now order home test kits and the different types of prescription antibiotic chlamydia pill online from Meds For Less discretely, easily and reliably, and have them delivered to your house within 24 hours.
Chlamydia (caused by the bacteria Chlamydia Trachomatis) is one of the most frequently sexually transmitted infection (STI). Chlamydia affects both men and women primarily in the genital tract, however, in rare cases it can affect the rectum, throat as well.
It is normally spready via unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex with an infected person.
Many people with chlamydia do not experience symptoms, making it a silent but deadly infection, however the common symptoms that do occur include:
In males:
In females:
If you feel that you may have been infected by chlamydia through unprotected sex, please consult your healthcare provider for testing and discussion about treatment options.
Chlamydia is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis which affects the cells lining the passages of various parts of the body; such as mainly the urogenital tract, but also the rectum, throat and eyes.
The Chlamydia bacteria is spread through mostly unprotected vaginal, anal and oral sexual contact with someone who has the infection. The bacterium can be spread through the exchange of body fluids during sexual intercourse even without the need for ejaculation.
Preventive measures against Chlamydia and other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) involve good sexual hygiene and the use of barrier protection methods (such as condoms).
In rare cases, chlamydia can be transmitted directly to the eyes if touched by hands contaminated with affected body fluids. Good sexual and physical hygiene is important to protect against this.
Many people who have chlamydia do not experience symptoms, making it a silent but dangerous infection. When symptoms do present, they include the following.
In men:
In women:
Because many people with chlamydia are asymptomatic (don’t have symptoms), they can easily spread this infection to others, without even realising it. Therefore it is important for both your safety and those around you that you get tested if you believe you may have contracted chlamydia.
Undetected or untreated Chlamydia can cause serious complications even if it is asymptomatic. These complications can include pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and Epididymitis (Inflammation around the testicles) in men. Other complications can also include reactive arthritis in both genders.
If you believe you may have contracted Chlamydia through unprotected sex, it is advisable to get tested whether you are symptomatic or not.
Since Chlamydia is a bacterial infection, it can be treated effectively using antibiotics. Common antibiotics used to treat chlamydia include:
Symptoms of Chlamydia typically resolve within 7 days of starting treatment. It is recommended that you take the full course of antibiotics prescribed even if symptoms disappear slightly earlier. This is to prevent chances of infection persisting, re-infection or developing antibiotic resistance.
You may also be advised to abstain from sexual activity till both you or your partner have completed the treatment course or wait till 7 days after taking the single dose of azithromycin.
Your healthcare provider may also recommend retesting for chlamydia after 3 months after taking chlamydia medication, just to ensure that the infection has been completely cleared and to check for infection.
You cannot buy over the counter medication for chlamydia as the recommended antibiotics (Azithyromycin and Doxycycline) require a prescription.
This is because symptoms of chlamydia closely resemble those of other infections of the genital area such as Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and hence an accurate diagnosis of chlamydia by a healthcare provider is essential.
A healthcare provider will also need to provide you with the appropriate medicine, and the appropriate dosing regimen of these antibiotics for you depending on to ensure your safety.
You can legally buy prescription medication of chlamydia online easily, confidentially and reliably at Meds For Less , and have them delivered to your home address within 24 hours.
Like most medicines, people taking chlamydia pills may also experience some side effects, however, these side effects don’t affect everyone and are usually mild if they occur.
The most common but mild side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, stomach-ache and nausea.
If you find these side effects intolerable, please consult your healthcare provider.
Rarer but more serious side effects of chlamydia meds include severe allergic reactions, severe diarrhoea, dizziness or fatigue.
If you experience any of the rare but more serious side effects of meds for chlamydia, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Medications for chlamydia help resolve symptoms within 7 weeks of starting treatment. However, it is recommended to get retested for chlamydia 3 months after starting treatment to ensure the infection has resolved, even if you’re asymptomatic.
While symptoms of Chlamydia may subside without antibiotic medication, the underlying infection remains in the body and does not go away on its own.
If left untreated, Chlamydia can lead to serious complications, even in people who feel fine and well.
In women these serious complications can include pelvic inflammatory disease, a condition in which there is pain, risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancy. In men, the complications can include epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis), which can cause infertility. Reactive arthritis is a complication that can result from Sexually Transmitted Infections (such as chlamydia) and is common to both genders.
Chlamydia infections typically resolve within 7 days to 2 weeks after commencing prescription meds for chlamydia treatment.
The Azithromycin antibiotic is taken as a single dose and starts working immediately after taking, however it takes 7 days to fully cure the infection.
A 7-day (twice daily) course of Doxycycline antibiotic can also cure the chlamydia infection from the body.
While recovering from chlamydia, it’s important to abstain from sexual activity for at least 7 days after starting treatment. It is also important to complete the course of antibiotics (especially if taking the 7 day doxycycline course) to ensure the infection is fully cleared from the body, even if symptoms resolve sooner.
Chlamydia is diagnosed through the lab tests that detect the presence of the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis in bodily samples.
Vaginal or cervical swabs collected from women and urine samples collected from men can be put under Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) to detect the possible presence of chlamydia genetic material in the lab.
Samples can either be taken in a clinic by a healthcare provider or given at home. Our Meds For Less Chlamydia home test kit allows women to do their own vaginal swab test and men to do their own urine sample, before sending it off to the lab for analysis.
Depending on your result, you will be informed as being negative (not having chlamydia) or positive (having chlamydia). This will allow you to make informed decisions regarding your healthcare and next steps.
Although chlamydia infections resolve within a week of commencing treatment, It is recommended that you retest 3 months after commencing antibiotic treatment. This is to ensure that the infection has fully resolved and to confirm against any possible signs of re-infection.
You can now discreetly, easily and reliably buy antibiotics and prescription chlamydia meds online and expect next day home delivery with meds for less.
Although non prescription medication for chlamydia is not available, you can purchase Over the Counter (OTC) home testing kits online from Meds For Less as well.
