Abstract
about urogenital chlamydial infection in recent years have changed and expanded significantly. Currently, diseases of the urogenital organs, eyes, joints, respiratory lesions and a number of systemic manifestations are associated with chlamydia. Studies and clinical observations show that chlamydia can cause infertility, reduced fertility, pregnancy pathology, diseases of newborns and young children. Recent studies have proven intrauterine infection of the fetus with chlamydia. Urogenital chlamydia is an infectious disease caused by chlamydia (chlamydiaceae), transmitted mainly through sexual contact, affecting the urogenital tract and other organs. The proportion of chlamydial infection in the total spectrum of urogenital infections is 3-30%. Chlamydia is asymptomatic in 46% of men and 67% of women. For chlamydia, the clinical picture is blurred. Chlamydial infection in men and women most often has an incubation period of 5-7 to 30 days. It can cause various pathologies. In men, the urethra is primarily affected, and then other organs (prostate gland, seminal vesicles, appendages). In women, the cervical canal is more often affected, after which an ascending infection may occur that captures the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and also the peritoneum. The low location of the external opening of the urethra, a narrow vagina, especially in nulliparous women, create conditions for primary infection, often combined, according to our data (Mavrov I.I. et al., 1982), with chlamydia infection of paraurethral tributaries and crypts. Currently, the treatment of chlamydia is carried out according to the prescription and under the supervision of a doctor and lasts 3 weeks or more. For treatment, antibiotics are used in combination with non-specific agents and physiotherapy procedures.
