Chlamydia can only be cured with antibiotic treatment. Home remedies for chlamydia can't cure the infection, though some may offer minor relief of symptoms as you complete the entire course of antibiotics. Prompt treatment can help you avoid serious complications.
Untreated chlamydia may persist without symptoms for long periods, may progress to cause complications, or may resolve spontaneously without treatment (“self-cure”).
Untreated chlamydia can cause long-term complications, including infertility. The only way to treat chlamydia is by taking antibiotics. There is no effective way to use home remedies to treat chlamydia.
What is the treatment for chlamydia? Chlamydia can be easily cured with antibiotics. HIV-positive persons with chlamydia should receive the same treatment as those who are HIV-negative.
Chlamydia infection is easily treated with the medicine azithromycin (also known as Zithromax). People with Chlamydia infection may not know they have it because they have no signs or symptoms. Your sex partner has given you azithromycin (pills) medicine or a prescription for azithromycin medicine.
But if you don't have insurance or want to see someone else for treatment, there are other low-cost or free options. You can get tested and treated at your local health department's STD clinic, a family planning clinic, a student health center, or an urgent care clinic.
Chlamydia can be cured with antibiotics from a health care provider. However, if chlamydia is left untreated, it can cause permanent damage.
Without medical intervention, a chlamydia infection can persist for years if gone unnoticed [1].
Chlamydia is a common STD that can cause infection among both men and women. It can cause permanent damage to a woman's reproductive system. This can make it difficult or impossible to get pregnant later. Chlamydia can also cause a potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy that occurs outside the womb).
Late-stage chlamydia refers to an infection that has spread to other parts of the body. For example, it may have spread to the cervix (cervicitis), testicular tubes (epididymitis), eyes (conjunctivitis), or throat (pharyngitis), causing inflammation and pain.
Is chlamydia dangerous? Diagnosed, chlamydia can be easily treated and cured as described above. Chlamydia is a serious health threat, especially for women.
Symptoms can occur within 2-14 days after infection. However, a person may have chlamydia for months, or even years, without knowing it.
If left untreated, chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease in women, which can lead to chronic pain and infertility. In men, untreated chlamydia can cause pain and swelling in one or both testicles. If detected early, chlamydia may be treated with a single dose of antibiotics.
(Remember, the signs of chlamydia in women and men can be hard to spot.) And don't feel embarrassed or guilty if you do have chlamydia. “There is a sense of shame around sexually transmitted diseases,” Dr. Grifo says.
Nope! Chlamydia is easily cured with antibiotics. Chlamydia is a bacterial infection (like strep throat or an ear infection), which means that once you've been treated and tested negative for it (to make sure the antibiotics worked), it's gone.
In the later stages of Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, people often complain about being extremely tired. Along with these infections, fatigue can also be caused by Hepatitis A, B, or C. Associating fatigue with having a busy lifestyle is not a good idea as it can be a symptom of a Sexually Transmitted Disease.
The upshot is that it's possible for some — not all — STDs to go away by themselves, but it's also possible for STDs to persist for months, years, or the rest of your life. If you could have been exposed to an STD, the best thing to do is get tested — not to hope that if you did get something, it'll just go away.
For people with uncomplicated genital chlamydia, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a single dose of azithromycin (1 gram) taken orally to cure the infection.
There is no proven alternative therapy to treating an STI. Treatment is testing and antibiotics. The most effective complementary treatments of STIs — that is, those that that go along with standard medical treatment — involve prevention and patient counseling.
