Hi
Thanks for the qeury

The chlamydia causes two types of diseases called thrush. it affects two areas that is oral thrush or vaginal thrush.

The chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted disease and can be transmitted through oral, vaginal or anal sex. the person having partner already diagnosed with chlamydia is at high risk.

The protocol for chlamydia infection is that a person diagnosed with chlamydia should also be screened for other disease along with his/her partner and in case of multiple sexual partners, all partners should be scanned.

The treatment is antibiotic cover with excellent prognosis
