CHLAMYDIA, MORE DANGEROUS THAN STAPHYLOCCOCUS TO YOUR FERTILITY
Hi friend,
Staphyloccocus aureus has been well publicised as the major cause of almost all illnesses in the body by the natural healers and has been mainly blamed for infertility. Recently I have attended to so many clients that have made up their minds that the major cause of them been infertile is due to infection from staphylococcus following numerous laboratory tests. I can agree that staphylococcus is one of the bacteria that can cause PID [pelvic inflammatory disease] so also is gonorrhoea, tuberculosis, Chlamydia etc.
So staphylococcus is not the major cause of infertility, in fact you need to have a low immunity for staphylococcus to be a major problem, and many clients I know having infertility problems have good immunity status.
One bacterium that is known to be majorly linked to infertility is called Chlamydia trachomatis, this bacterium is unique because it has been proven scientifically worldwide to be the major cause of fallopian tube damage, that will definitely eventually be the cause of infertility, this bacterium is so dangerous because it is a sexually transmitted disease, unlike staphylococcus that is not sexually transmitted. All couples having infertility problems must be tested for Chlamydia trachomatis and treated thoroughly, this is very important.
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most prevalent bacterial pathogen causing sexually transmitted disease (STD) . It often goes undiagnosed and may be inadequately treated when it is diagnosed. Some of the reason for this underdiagnosis is that chlamydial infections often produce no symptoms and only mild, non-specific signs. If left untreated it can persist for at least 15 months and can have potentially serious lifetime consequences.
Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis, the bacteria can infect the urinary and reproductive organs, which can damage a woman's reproductive organs. Even though symptoms of chlamydia are usually mild or absent, serious complications that cause irreversible damage, including infertility, can occur "silently" before a woman ever recognizes a problem. Chlamydia also can cause discharge from the penis of an infected man.
Certain patient populations are at higher risk. These include:
[1] Patients with contacts with known STDs
[2] Persons with a new partner in the past 2 months
[3] Persons with more than 2 partners in the past 12 months
[4] Individuals using non barrier methods of contraception
[5] Street youth, IV drug users, commercial sex workers
[6] Persons who have had sex in countries where certain STDs are epidemic
[7] Homosexual men .
SYMPTOMS
In many cases, chlamydia causes only mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. So an infection can last for weeks or months before it is discovered.
In females, chlamydia symptoms can include:
[1] Vaginal irritation
[2] Vaginal discharge
[3] Lower abdominal pain
[4] Burning feeling with urination
Untreated chlamydia also can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can affect the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. In some cases, PID has no symptoms but often causes abdominal or lower back pain, painful urination, pain during intercourse, bleeding between menstrual periods, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, or fever.
If chlamydia or PID infections go untreated in females, they can lead to scarring of the fallopian tubes, which can lead to other serious health problems such as chronic pelvic pain, infertility, or ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.
HOW DOES CHLAMYDIA AFFECT A PREGNANT WOMAN AND HER BABY?
In pregnant women, there is some evidence that untreated chlamydial infections can lead to premature delivery. Babies who are born to infected mothers can get chlamydial infections in their eyes and respiratory tracts. Chlamydia is a leading cause of early infant pneumonia and conjunctivitis (pink eye) in newborns.
HOW IS CHLAMYDIA DIAGNOSED?
There are laboratory tests to diagnose chlamydia. Some can be performed on urine, other tests require that a specimen be collected from a site such as the penis or cervix.
