Causes, symptoms and scheme of treatment of chlamydia in men. Preparations for the treatment of chlamydia

There are billions of bacteria in the world, but chlamydia is one of the most unpleasant and often dangerous. Diseases caused by it, called generalized chlamydia, most often they can get sexually. To date, this is one of the most common reasons for turning to a venereologist. More than 50% of men and 30% to 60% of women are ill or have Chlamydia.

Quite serious and long-term treatment scheme for chlamydia in men. Drugs prescribed to women can be supplemented with vaginal suppositories. To choose an effective treatment for chlamydia in men and women, you need to know the nature of the disease.

What is this bacterium?

Chlamydia bacteria affect mucous membranes, and not only humans, but also animals. Chlamydial infections are different - from ornithosis to trachoma, but most often it is a disease of the genitourinary system. This is due to the fact that the family of chlamydial bacteria has various "relatives":

• Chlamydia pecorum and Chlamydia psittaci are bacteria that live with birds. A person can also become infected after close contact with them, hence the eye disease - from conjunctivitis to ornithosis.

• Chlamydia pnuemoniae with a spoken name affects the human respiratory system. Hence, diseases such as pneumonia, tonsillitis and pharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infections caused by a viral infection.
• Chlamydia trachomatis is the most "harmful" type of virus, which has 15 subspecies, one of which is devoted to the article. The virus is transferred from the body into the body through sexual contact, it is often accompanied by other infections (mycoplasmosis, papilloma, gardnerellez, etc.). Treatment of chlamydia in men (drugs, scheme) is appointed by the doctor for the successful disposal of the body from the bacteria.

What else are dangerous chlamydia?

The bacterium spreads throughout the body, preferring mucous membranes. Chlamydia can cause diseases not only the eyes, genitourinary system or pharynx. They also affect the cardiovascular system. The relationship between chlamydia bacteria and coronary heart disease has been established. According to some doctors, the root cause of arthritis is also the bacteria of chlamydia.

The most common are diseases that develop after infection of the genitals. Especially they are dangerous during pregnancy and childbirth. Chlamydia can contribute to miscarriages, interruption of pregnancy, infection of the baby both inside the womb and at birth. The scheme of therapy for expectant mothers is not the same as the scheme for treating chlamydia in men. Preparations for the treatment of the disease are selected individually.

The most common diseases caused by this bacterium are called urethritis, cystitis, erosion, prostatitis, cervicitis and endometritis. What is especially dangerous, the disease often occurs against the background of other infections, often in chronic form. Chlamydia live in our body together with gonococcus and Trichomonas.

Inoculations from chlamydia do not exist, because the body can not develop immunity to them. Natural immunity is also absent. Therefore, treatment of chlamydia in men is so important. Preparations, the scheme of reception of which will significantly reduce the risk of complications, will be listed below.

How to identify the disease

The incubation period after infection and before the appearance of the first symptoms is from 7 to 21 days.

Urogenital chlamydia is most often manifested by vitreous secretions, scanty discharge of mucous or purulent nature, painful urination, itching of the genitals, prolonged aching or pulling pains in the lower abdomen in women and in the scrotum in men, slight fever and general malaise. Some of the symptoms may be absent, and after a while they disappear altogether. There were cases of asymptomatic disease. Chlamydia in men and women is manifested in different ways; Symptoms, treatment are also individual.

Often an infected person, without taking any measures, after the disappearance of unpleasant symptoms, forgets about the problem. But at the same time the ailment remains and periodically reminds of itself.

The virus quickly overcomes the immune barriers of our body, the disease becomes protracted and turns into a chronic stage.

We hand over analyzes on a clamidiosis

The asymptomatic course of the disease or its calm makes it very difficult to treat other, as it seems to us, unrelated diseases. For example, pneumonia or infertility are treated with completely different drugs that do not have an effect on chlamydia, which does not bring the desired effect. Therefore, it is necessary to take tests for the detection of bacteria Chlamydia.

Modern equipment allows you to do this by various diagnostic methods: RIF, PCR, ELISA and others. A common smear, unfortunately, most often does not reveal a bacterium, since it is too small.

For timely detection and control of chlamydia, you need to contact a specialist. Scheme of treatment for chlamydia in men, drugs prescribed by a doctor, depend on the stage of the disease, and on the sensitivity of the bacteria. Self-therapy is not recommended.

Chlamydia. Treatment (antibiotic drugs)

Chlamydia are very complex and cunning bacteria that also have the properties of viruses. Usual treatment for bacterial or viral illness will not work. A comprehensive approach is required with antibiotics, multivitamins and immunomodulators. It is impossible to name short treatment of a clamidiosis at men. The drugs that are used for therapy should be chosen by a doctor. Pharmacist in the pharmacy can not properly select them.

The scheme of treatment of chlamydia in men is very extensive and complex. The drugs prescribed for the fight against the disease are, for the most part, not cheap. It may take more than one course. A healthy lifestyle and diet will contribute to a speedy recovery. It is also necessary to abstain from sexual activity during the course of treatment. And if the patient has one constant sexual partner, then the need to take tests to both is obvious. Scheme and drugs for the treatment of chlamydia in men and women can be assigned different.

After the full course of treatment, it is necessary to pass tests to exclude the risk of infection again. The analysis is given first 21 days after the end of treatment, and then in two months.

The bacterium chlamydia is very tenacious and can pass into the dormant stage in the body. Urogenital chlamydia can recur after a few years for example. This is a consequence of improper treatment.

What does therapy begin with?

Before the first visit to the doctor, you must stop taking all medications if you have previously tried to treat chlamydia on your own. Wipe the toilet from the evening. In the morning, you do not need to wash yourself, it is also advisable not to go to the toilet two or three hours before the reception.

For the treatment of chlamydia, first take a normal bacteriological smear: in women - from the vagina, in men - from the urethra. A smear will also help determine the presence of bacteria and viruses associated with chlamydia.

Possible blood test, which will show the presence / absence of antibodies to the bacteria. If there are any, then you are infected. For a variety of reasons, this analysis is not always informative and accurate.

The PCR analysis will show with the greatest accuracy the presence of the bacterium. To perform it necessary to secrete from the genitals. Based on this material, culture is also sown. Bacteria reproduce to a greater extent. Carrying out various studies, determine its type and, accordingly, treatment.

Treatment Scheme

Chlamydia occurs in men and women, the treatment scheme is different. Often, vaginal suppositories are added to the fair sex.

1. Antibiotics from the family of macrolides, tetracyclines or penicillins are prescribed. If there are contraindications to these medications, other antibiotics may be prescribed at the doctor's discretion. Doses and the way of reception are appointed individually by the attending physician.
2. Antifungal agents are possible.
3. Immunomodulating drugs are mandatory for enhancing the effect and response of immunity. Most often in the form of candles (for example, "Viferon").
4. A doctor can prescribe vitamins to strengthen immunity.
5. Obligatory diet and the right way of life, alcohol should be excluded.
6. Re-delivery of tests after the course of treatment.

Chronic clamidiosis. Symptoms, treatment regimens

Often, the disease runs in a latent and form, and by the time of going to the doctor, it can go to a chronic stage. In this case, the treatment of the disease becomes more complicated. When the disease flows into the next form, treatment of chronic chlamydia in men is mandatory. Treatment is possible only during an exacerbation. If you try to eliminate the disease in a period of calm, then the bacterium will simply get used to an anthybiotics, and the effect from their reception will be extremely negative. In this case, the chronic form of the disease in most cases is accompanied by other diseases of the genitourinary system (thrush, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis and others).

Treatment of chronic chlamydia in men (drugs, the scheme - all we are considering) is as follows:

1. Mandatory testing to determine the type of bacteria and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
2. Administration of antibiotics in a higher dose. It is possible to take several types, but it is preferable to choose one group to which all the bacteria in the body are sensitive.
3. To achieve the best effect from the course to the course, the drugs are changed in order to avoid the bacteria getting used to a certain agent.
4. Detection of all types of chlamydia and treatment of other foci of infection. For example, in eliminating urogenital chlamydia, bacteria that cause lung disease (Chlamydis pneumonias) can remain in the body.
5. The appointment of immunomodulators.
6. Items 4,5,6 of the previous section.

Drug treatment. Antibiotics

The most effective antibiotics for the treatment of chlamydia are the cells that penetrate inside and accumulate in them. The probability of bacterial damage will be highest in the three groups of drugs:

• Tetracyclines.
• Macrolides.
• Fluoroquinolones.

To maintain immunity, it is necessary to combine the course of anthybiotics with immunomodulating agents.

General recommendations for the administration of antibiotics for the treatment of chlamydia:

• Observe the time of taking medication (the same, at the same intervals).
• Continue treatment until the end, even after the condition is improved (the symptoms may disappear almost immediately).
• Carry out treatment for both partners at the same time.
• Do not have sex during the course of treatment.
• To hand over all necessary analyzes before the beginning of treatment and after.

Rating of antibiotics for the treatment of urogenital chlamydia

"Doxycycline" - one of the most popular antibacterial drugs. Recognized by medical professionals as one of the best in this field. The most important disadvantage is a large number of side effects, which occur quite often. Disturbances of the stomach and thrush are increasingly forced to seek alternatives.

"Azithromycin" conditionally takes the second line of the rating among antibiotics prescribed for chlamydia. When taking it, you should carefully monitor for side effects. It is compulsory before the appointment to pass a test for the sensitivity of the bacterium to this drug.

List of less popular means

In no case should one be guided by advice from the Internet or buy something that has been treated by friends. Antibiotics should prescribe a doctor.

The most commonly prescribed drugs are:

• "Clacid" is a remedy with high effectiveness of treatment (course from 3 days to 2 weeks).
• "Ceftriaxone" is an antibiotic of the third generation with a wide spectrum of action.
• "Josamycin" and "Macropen" - macrolide funds of the new generation, have the least amount of side effects.
• "Sumamed" - against the backdrop of high efficiency, the least amount of side effects.
• "Rulid", "Klabaks", "Chemomycin", "Clarithromycin" - semisynthetic macrolide antibacterial drugs.

• "Vilprafen" and "Amoksiklav" - nazanachayutsya with infections of the small pelvis.
• "Erythromycin" is a highly effective remedy for the treatment of chlamydia.

The effectiveness of antibiotics is very individual, with an incorrect appointment (often self-administration), reception can significantly worsen a person's condition.

Traditional medicine in the fight against chlamydia

Given the abundance of medical facilities and the availability of therapy in hospitals, some prefer to treat them with folk remedies. Different teas, tinctures and decoctions sometimes give a good result:
