Home Treatment For Chlamydia Infection In Females

By Dr. Ritu Kumari Gupta on November 2, 2021

Chlamydia is a ubiquitous STD (sexually transmitted disease), but the good news is that it can be easily cured. Both males and females across the globe get affected by chlamydia. The worse part is that in most cases, its symptoms are not visible, so it is tough to keep it from spreading.

Having no symptoms is not a reason to take chlamydia infection lightly, as it causes severe and permanent damage to the reproductive system. Infected women may find it difficult to get pregnant, and there is a risk of ectopic pregnancy. If the mother is infected with chlamydia, even the newborn baby may get infected during childbirth. An infected baby may be of low birth weight, and there are chances of premature birth and eye infection in newborns.

This is why we always recommend that sexually active people of both genders should get tested at regular intervals. If the infection is diagnosed, treatment of chlamydia is continued until the infection goes away.

What Are The Symptoms Of Chlamydia?

The symptoms of chlamydia infection are very rarely felt. A few signs that may be apparent are:

Pain and burning during urination
Pain, swelling, and tenderness in testicles in men
Thick, yellow-white, and cloudy discharge from the penis
Swelling, redness, and itching at the urethral opening in females
Rectal pain, bleeding, and discharge.
Infection and inflammation in the eye.
A sore throat
Pain in the lower abdomen in females
Pain during sex
Vaginal discharge in women
Bleeding between the periods in females
Bleeding after sex in women
Nausea
Fever

Sexually active adults who practice unsafe sex and have sex with multiple partners are more at risk of contracting chlamydia infection.

As the number of people affected by chlamydia infection is growing, the popularity of natural chlamydia treatment is increasing every year. Below in this article, we are providing you with the list of home remedies for chlamydia effectively. So if you are tested positive for chlamydia infection, read this article and try them out.

How To Treat Chlamydia At Home

#1. Garlic

Garlic is not just a spice used in cooking for taste, but it is a medicinal herb rich in anti-viral and antibiotic properties. To alleviate chlamydia eat 3-4 cloves of garlic every day during or before the meal. Raw garlic is recommended as it has natural compounds that clear infection and kills bacteria. Garlic capsules are also available in the stores. For doses, consult your doctor.

* If you have diabetes, garlic is not recommended for you as it may cause blood clotting issues.

#2. Goldenseal

One of the useful home remedies for chlamydia is goldenseal that fights bacteria. The antibacterial property is due to the presence of berberine which is an enzyme that kills infection-causing bacteria and increases white blood cells. It boosts body immunity and fights chlamydia. Also, goldenseal has anti-intermittently and anti-microbial properties. It is recommended to consume up to 1000 mg goldenseal herb three times a day.

You may also make a herbal douche with it and wash your genitals to reduces itching, discomfort. To make goldenseal herbal douche add a capsule of goldenseal in a cup of warm water along with one-fourth teaspoon salt. Mix the ingredients and douche with it two times for ten days.

#3. Olive Tree Extract

Oleuropein present in olive tree extract kills bacteria and fights inflammation. It also boosts body immunity. Olive tree extract is available as a powder, liquid concentrate, a salve or dried tea leaf. Whatever form of olive tea extract you choose it will provide you protection against bacteria and fasten the healing.

You may take olive tree extract orally or rub directly to your genitals 2-3 times in a day for a week.

#4. Turmeric

Turmeric is not just a spice to add to cooking, but it is a medicinal herb. Curcumin present in turmeric is antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. It fastens healing and boosts body immunity. Turmeric is an ideal home remedy to treat chlamydia.

Add a half teaspoon of turmeric powder to a glass of warm milk and drink it daily two times for 7-10 days.

#5. Yoghurt

Yoghurt rich in probiotics fights off infection. Also, probiotics boost body immunity. Make sure the yoghurt you are using is unsweetened

Eat a cup of yoghurt two times in a day until chlamydia infection clears. It is better for your health if you continue consuming yoghurt even after the infection clears so that your body will be able to resist the infection in future.

To prevent contracting chlamydia infection and to check its spread, practice safe sex. Use condoms, avoid having sex with multiple partners and abstain from any sexual activity during the treatment. Females should avoid douching and use of perfumed vaginal cosmetics as it kills the good bacteria and disturbs vaginal flora.
