WHEN Proust was in his mid-30s he wrote to his father, who was a doctor, about symptoms attributed to his prostate.
Proust was anxious in case he was already developing signs and symptoms of prostatic enlargement, although in retrospect a more feasible diagnosis was that he had developed a chlamydial infection which had given him urethritis, possibly complicated by prostatitis.
Men are usually all too well aware when they have caught chlamydia, a sexually transmitted infection. The re sulting NSU (non-specific urethritis) results in a visible urethral discharge of varying severity and colour, and there is pain on passing water.
Women, on the other hand, may not notice a uretheral discharge, or an increase in their cervical discharge, and are so prone to cystitis that painful urination may be dismissed without investigation.
Unfortunately, under-rating these symptoms can have serious long-term conse quences. Chlamydial infec tions are the commonest cause of chronic pelvic inflamma tory disease, which accounts for over 70 per cent of blocked fallopian tubes.
Testing for chlamydia has previously involved collecting swabs from the cervix and urethera and sending them to an efficient laboratory for analysis. Recently the British Medical Journal (BMJ) has reported on a study that tested the efficiency of a recently introduced urine test as a means of diagnosing chlamydial in fections in women and as a screening test for those women who could be at in creased risk of picking up sexually transmitted diseases.
A view of this research by Dr Judy Myer in Pulse magazine, whose practice was involved in the study, sug gests that the ligase chain-re action urine test is not only less intrusive for women but more effective than existing tests and that it will become an important means of detecting chlamydial infections in women before their tubes have been irretrievably damaged and they suffer infertility.
Men over the age of forty are most at risk. If they have of benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms, then it’s likely that it should be fine and it will go away naturally. Myer in her http://beginhealthnow.com Super Beta Prostate reviews article says, “The recommended usage is to take 2 servings a day – one in the morning and the other at night. It will take about 1-2 weeks to see a change.
