Uma abantu bethi bafuna ukwephula irekhodi lomhlaba, siqagela ukuthi lokhu akukhona lokhu abacabanga ngakho: Namuhla, iCenters for Disease Control (CDC) imemezele ukuthi ngo-2014 kube nezigameko ze-chlamydia eziyizigidi ezingu-1.5- inani eliphakeme kakhulu lamacala abikiwe kunoma yisiphi isifo, njalo. (Bangaphezu Ko-1 Kwabesifazane Abayi-100 Abane-Chlamydia, FYI.) Lezi zindaba ezimbi zivele ngenxa yombiko waminyaka yonke we-CDC mayelana nezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi, owengeze ngokuthi isipatsholo nogcunsula nakho kube nokwanda okukhulu onyakeni odlule. Thenga amakhondomu, makhosikazi, ngoba siphakathi kobhadane lwezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi.

I-Chlamydia iyisifo esibi ikakhulukazi sabesifazane ngoba sisakazeka kalula nganoma yiluphi uhlobo lokuxhumana ngocansi; futhi njengoba amadoda engakhombisi izimpawu njalo, awukwazi ukubona ukuthi umlingani wakho uthelelekile yini. Kwabesifazane, izimpawu zifaka ukuzwa okuvuthayo lapho uchama, ukuphuma okungavamile kwesitho sangasese sowesifazane, ubuhlungu besisu noma be-pelvic, igazi emchamweni wakho, kanye nokuzizwa njalo kufanele uchame-kuholele abesifazane abaningi ukubenza iphutha lokutheleleka ngomgudu womchamo. (Eqinisweni, ngisho nezibhedlela ziphutha ama-STD kuma-UTIs ngamaphesenti angama-50 esikhathi!)

Uma ingalashwa, i-chlamydia ingadala umonakalo ongalungiseki ekuzaleni kwakho, okwenza kube nzima noma kungenzeki ukukhulelwa ngokuzayo. Futhi abesifazane abasengozini yokuthola inkontileka baphakathi kweminyaka yobudala eyi-15 nengama-25, ngokusho kwe-CDC-labo ngaphambi noma phakathi neminyaka yabo yokuqala yokubeletha.

Ngokujabulisayo, ibonakala kalula ngokuhlolwa okujwayelekile (ngakho qiniseka ukuthi uhlolwa njalo izifo zabesifazane!) futhi ingelashwa ngemithi elwa namagciwane. Ukuvimbela, noma kunjalo, kusengukukhetha kwakho okuhle kakhulu-ucwaningo lwakamuva lukhombise ukwanda okusheshayo kwamagciwane amelana nama-antibiotic we-chlamydia ne-gonorrhea. Ngakho-ke qiniseka ukuthi indoda yakho iyakufanelekela (ngisho ngomlomo noma indunu) ngoba leli irekhodi elilodwa lomhlaba ongafuni ukulijoyina. (Uma usuvele unayo, thola ukuthi Ungakhuluma Kanjani Naye Ngesimo Sakho Sezocansi.)
