The treatment of infection caused by chlamydia is done with antibiotics such as azithromycin, erythromycin and minocycline. During treatment, sexual abstinence should be made 7 days after the start of the antibiotic or 7 days following the single dose to avoid chlamydia transmission, and the partner should also be treated.
Because of the long incubation time of chlamydia, sometimes without symptoms, it is possible to have had the infection longer, so it is important to treat the partners with whom sexual contact occurred within two months prior to the examination. To prevent contamination by chlamydia, one should always practice sex with the use of a condom.
If chlamydial infection is suspected, a medical service should be sought as soon as possible for diagnostic confirmation and treatment. The general practitioner, urologist, or gynecologist are the doctors appointed to treat these infections.
