Chlamydia is a bacterial
infection that is spread through sexual contact with an infected person.
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STD); more
than 50 million cases occur worldwide and approximately three million cases
occur in the United States annually.
Any sexually active person can be infected with
chlamydia. Most often, chlamydia occurs in adolescents and young adults (ages
15-24) who have new or multiple sex partners and who do not consistently use
condoms or other barrier contraception.
Because approximately 75 percent of women and 50
percent of men have no symptoms, most people infected with chlamydia are not
aware of their infections and may not seek health care. If males have symptoms,
they may include urethritis (itching and/or burning on urination) and discharge
from the penis in small or moderate amounts. If females have symptoms, they may
include vaginal discharge and painful urination.
If a person is not treated for chlamydia,
complications may occur. Women frequently develop pelvic inflammatory disease
(PID). PID can cause infertility (not being able to get pregnant), chronic
pelvic pain, tubal pregnancies, and the continued spread of the disease. In
men, untreated chlamydia can cause urethral infection and complications such as
swollen and tender testicles. Chlamydia infection during pregnancy may result
in premature rupture of membranes, preterm delivery and possible tubal
pregnancy in a small percent of women. In addition, chlamydia can cause
conjunctival (eye) and pneumonic (lung) infection in the newborn. Persons with
a chlamydia infection have an increased chance of getting other infections such
as gonorrhea or HIV.
In western medicine, the doctors always use
antibiotics in treating this disease. However, antibiotics
have the features of drug resistance. If your antibiotics intake is more and
more, the effects will be worse and worse. In another words, chlamydia can hide
and survive in the process of treatment, causing the recurrence of chlamydia.
So the patient may not get recovery from the root and will still have stinging
and pain in urethra caused by chlamydia. As for the infected eyes, it is
because that his eyes touched the infected chlamydia fluid. So the timely and
effective treatment is very important except antibiotics.
While Wuhan Dr. Lee, who is
skilled in male reproductive and urinary diseases from Wuhan Dr. Lee's TCM
clinic, said that the result is not surprised. It is because that his chlamydia
did not get completely cured, which may be a reason of antibiotics drug
resistance. In fact, the sign of recovery for chlamydia is that patients do not
have any symptoms anymore and their test results shows negative all along after
several times retest.
So if antibiotics cannot cure chlamydia totally, the herbal
medicine Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill will be a
wise choice. The medicine can kill most of the bacteria and virus, even the
pathogens like chlamydia and gonorrhea, killing chlamydia from the root causes.
Besides, this herbal pill also includes the ingredients like Soapstone and Red
flower to help activate the circulation of blood and promote Qi, releasing the
stinging and pain in urethra gradually and continually.
