Clamidiosis is one of the most widespread sexually transmitted infections – it causes sterility not only among women but also among men. Spanish scientists have found out that chlamydia damage the genetical structure of spermatozoa worsening sperm quality.
According to the Paediatrician Union, only in the last 5 years the frequency of gynaecological and andrological diseases among children of all ages has increased in 1.5 times.
Over 50 % of teenagers have different diseases which may further restrict to the possibility of having children. In the recent years clamidiosis has widely spread, and this means that reproductive health of many youngsters is under the threat, as acute infections endured in the childhood may directly influence the formation of women’s as well as men’s sterility.
Among adult population one third of women and about half of men of active sexual age (from 16 to 40) suffer from chlamydia infection. Clamidiosis contamination more often transmits sexually. The probability of contamination during unprotected coitus is 70 – 90 %. According to various sources, more than 1.5 million people acquire clamidiosis in this country, but clamidiosis is not often diagnosed because of the difficulties of its diagnostics.
The problem is that clamidiosis may progress asymptomatically or disguise itself as some other disease. A person thinks that he has conjunctivitis, arthritis, or heart troubles, but the real cause of all that is clamidiosis. That is why if you are bothered by urethral (men) or vaginal discharge of white, yellow colour or pellucid, painfulness, burning pain during urination of coitus, pains in the underbelly, in the small of your back, consult the doctor to diagnose the case and prescribe medication. If the infection is revealed in time and got rid of you can avoid many problems with health.
Spanish scientists have proved that the treatment of chlamydia infection with the help of antibiotics can improve men’s fertility. 13% of the pair succeeded to conceive at the beginning of the treatment, and 86 % conceived after the full course of antibiotic treatment. At the same time the level of DNA injuries in spermatozoa lowered at the average by 36 %.
