About Chlamydia

Chlamydia is not a medical procedure but a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. An internal medicine specialist plays a crucial role in its diagnosis and management. The process involves a thorough patient consultation, followed by diagnostic testing, which typically includes collecting a urine sample or a swab from the cervix, urethra, throat, or rectum. The primary treatment is a prescribed course of oral antibiotics, such as azithromycin or doxycycline. The specialist also provides essential counseling on safe sex practices, partner notification, and follow-up testing to ensure the infection is fully cleared and to prevent complications like pelvic inflammatory disease or infertility.
