Cali ODE Classifieds @ 346-4343 Health News Chlamydia can be treated, prevented Due to the slow onset of symptoms, many people may not know they have chlamydia By Kari Thorene Higher Education Reporter Chlamydia, which causes burn ing urination and potential sterili ty, is the most common sexually transmitted bacterial disease at the University, said Dr. William Disher of the Student Health Cen ter. It is also the most common sex ually transmitted disease in the country, according to the Arnot Ogden Medical Center in New York. “In women, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease which can result in infertility, increased ec topic (tubal) pregnancies and pelvic pain symptoms,” Disher said. It can lead to a scrotum in fection in men, although that’s less likely, he said. “If anyone is sexually active, and they aren’t using a condom 100 percent of the time, and they are in relationships that aren’t mutually monogamous, they are at risk,” Disher said. i.mamyuia intections are usu ally transmitted during sexual contact with the genital, rectal or mouth area of an infected per son,” according to the Mississip pi State University health home page. It cannot be transmitted through casual contact, such as through hot tubs and toilet seats. Infected persons do not neces sarily have symptoms, Disher said. According to the Arnot Og den Medical Center, up to 70 per cent of infected women and 30 percent of infected men don’t know they have the disease. If symptoms do occur they are pre sent within the first four weeks of exposure. “If the symptoms are present in males, it’s burning urination or a discharge from the penis," Disher said. Other symptoms can in clude pain and swelling in the testicles and a fever. Chlamydia symptoms S MEN: • Burning sensation or pain dur ing urination • Pain and swelling in the testicles • Fever • Cloudy discharge from the penis ■ WOMEN: • Vaginal bleeding •Vaginal discharge •Burning when urinating •Lowerabdominal pain • itching and burning sensation in the genital area •Feverand nausea Source: Mississippi State Uni versity health home page “In women, it can vary from an abnormal vaginal discharge to bleeding to pelvic pain to fever — women also can have burning during urination. It all depends on how far along the infection is,” Disher said. People should be tested tor chlamydia when they exhibit any of the symptoms, when they have unprotected intercourse with partners who have an unknown history or a known history of chlamydia or as part of an annual exam along with a pap smear, Disher said. Chlamydia can be detected by simple tests. Men can undergo a urine test to find out if they have the disease, Disher said. “During an annual pelvic exam, women can be tested by a swab of the cervix,” he said. The health center tests for chlamydia as part of the annual exam routine. “Chlamydia is treated by a number of different antibiotics,” Disher said. “There are a couple of one-time doses, or there is the standard one-week treatment. Once treated, symptoms go away within a few weeks,” he said. The health center provides chlamydia testing, but appoint ments are necessary. Study: New screening test helped men’s awareness ■ Continued from Page 1 ther. We found that both made a difference at a statistically signifi cant level.” When the test was publicized and free, the number of men test ed per day doubled, Fleischli said. “Awareness continued to have an effect after the full charge,” he said. The advertising campaign cost the health center substantially more than just eliminating the cost, Fleischli said. The cost per test was $39.79 with the advertis ing campaign, but it cost only $19.65 by making the test free. The idea for the study came as a response to an offer by the state of free chlamydia tests for female students as part of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, Fleischli said. “As we started to explore that, there was a series of things we found would make it less advan tageous for the center,” he said. The increased paperwork and staff time required by the study would have actually increased the cost to the health center, he said. “The reason the CDC was giv ing the grants was because they found out that screening would decrease the number of cases of chlamydia,” Fleischli said. Officials at the health center re sponded by designing their own study and applying for funding through the PCCHA. jJd&i it fin... share this emerald with a friend!
