What is the treatment for chlamydia infection in men?

Chlamydia is a very stubborn bacterial colony virus. This virus is very harmful, has a strong ability to infect, and is difficult to kill. Because the colony-like reproduction of Chlamydia makes them recover faster than they can be killed, so a fast pace is the main treatment. There are many examples of Chlamydia infection in modern life, especially in men, where genital infection with Chlamydia is the most common, causing great damage to men's physical health. Let's take a look at the explanation of how to treat male Chlamydia infection.

Chlamydia is resistant to drugs that act on the cell wall, such as penicillins, vancomycin, and bacitracin, and is sensitive to drugs that inhibit the synthesis of membrane and cytoplasmic proteins, such as tetracycline and erythromycin.

Treatment plan: First, tetracyclines, 500 mg of tetracycline 4 times a day for 7 consecutive days, or 100 mg of doxycycline 2 times a day for 7 consecutive days. For patients who are contraindicated or have poor tolerance to tetracycline, a solution containing PHMB bactericidal ingredients can be used twice a day for 7 consecutive days.

Issues that should be noted during treatment:

(1) Tetracyclines are teratogenic to pregnant women and should not be used.

(2) Based on current clinical observations, it is better to use quinolone drugs rather than tetracycline drugs because most patients have gonococcal or other concurrent infections.

(3) The treatment time is preferably 2-3 weeks. The reproduction cycle of Chlamydia is 48-72 hours. It parasitizes in cells, and the concentration of drugs penetrating into cells is generally low. Therefore, the treatment time needs to be longer.

(4) If a man or woman is infected but has no symptoms or has mild symptoms, they can be considered carriers and should receive regular treatment. The sexual partners of the patient should also be treated at the same time.

(5) Combination medication: tetracyclines + lotion + quinolones.

The above is an explanation of how to treat male chlamydia infection. I hope that men will strengthen their body cleanliness in their lives to prevent infection with some viral diseases, especially genital diseases.
