Many people are of the view that all of the sexually transmitted diseases are deadly, but this is a completely a wrong notion. In most cases, they can be treated in the initial stages if detected at the right time and given the right treatment instantly. Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis are two such sexually transmitted diseases which are misunderstood to a great extent. Chlamydia is an infection caused by a bacterium named Chlamydia trachomatis, and Trichomoniasis is an infection caused by a single cell protozoa. As mentioned above, both can be completely treated if given the right treatment. If not, both can also lead to permanent damages in both men and women.
Symptoms
Trichomoniasis can be detected in the earlier stages by identifying the symptoms correctly. This includes yellow discharge with foul smell from the vulva. The vulva is also seen to have extreme itching, swelling and redness. The people suffering from this infection will also tend to have a burning sensation while urination. In case of Chlamydia the patients will have high fever, sore throat, bleeding after sexual encounter and pain in the lower abdomen and pelvis.
Causes
As mentioned above, both Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis are sexually transmitted diseases. They are transmitted from an infected person to another when an infected person and non-infected person have unprotected sexual relationship. This may include anal, oral or vaginal sex. There is also a chance that if a woman who has a history of Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis can transmit the disease to the baby during delivery. In such a case, it is advised that the women should mention this to their obstetrician during consultation to avoid spreading the infection to the baby.
Treatment
There are many home remedies available for the treatment of Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis, however these are not much effective and the infection may not be treated completely. It is always advised that if the patient finds any of the symptoms of Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis, they must consult an expert in sexually transmitted diseases immediately. The test should be consulted and expert guidance form the doctor must be taken for the treatment. The prescriptions provided by the doctor must be followed religiously without any complaints.
In home remedies, garlic plays a very important role. Usually, the patients are advised by elder people in the family to eat a lot of garlic and also they are provided food with garlic inside them. This is done because garlic is said to have strong anti-bacterial properties. Another remedial measure can be by using protection during sex like condoms. It has been tested and proved that condoms can prevent the entry of harmful bacteria during sex and thus prevent infections. They can even prevent the spread of deadly diseases like HIV this way.
