To all my fellow men, you can be A systematic. I had absolutely no symptoms and wouldn't have known unless I had a check up. So please to my fellow young men or anybody sexually active please get a STI/STD test. Theres no shame in getting tested.

[TomRipley]

Thank God I looked this up. I heard the word and thought it would be a good name for a daughter.

[mamoonamir]

Absolutely genius for this video, you’ve saved my life as i have a final exam tmw and still didn’t finish studying for it.

[guitaro]

Wow, all this because some girl you met a club said "I'm allergic to latex."

[TheGhost-lmxp]

I love how simple u make everything looks like and give the basic of everything even though there is a probability that most of us knows it if we are medical student and all of this with a short video

[DrBretPalmer]

Good video, very informative.
Treatment options haven't been covered but for simple genital infections Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 7 days is commonly used.
If there's a risk of pregnancy then azithromycin is used instead.
👍

Great explanation. Thank you!
just a small point. Dysarthria = difficult or unclear articulation of speech

[krissjsjsjs]

I've been binge watching osmosis videos and also a few khan academy ones. (I'm studying for comprehensives)
Quick question: are you the same person?

[MyLady]

Love the easy explanation of terms! Thanks!

[hisheee]

great vid but you didnt mention treatments

[AR-ictc]

great explanation, now i'm ready to get chlamydia!

[thevandal]

Wow this guy didn't skip a beat. did he?

[BIngeilski]

Great vid, great rhetoric skills! I would also add some information on treatment of chlamydia with tetracyclines, which is crucial to combat this infection!
Also a few questions:
1) How does chlamydia manage to penetrate the blood/synovial barrier?
2 Does chlamydia indeed expose structures which are similar to joint cartilage structures? Is the autoimmune reaction (Reiter's syndrom) associated with chl. similar to that of strep. induced reactive arthritis?
Thank you!

Doctororias is a great doctor! He’s very understanding and listens to your concerns. He takes time with the patient to help them with their health issues! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a specialist

[shivasu]

Hello brilliant video, just one quick thing, dysarthria is painful speech, painful joints are referred to as arthralgia

[lawrence]

Last week of class, had no symptoms but just decided to get checked up and found out I was positive. Go get checked up please

[michaelramos]

[mosesraryea]

It’s not on the inside of the eyelid and definitely conjunctiva is not the reddish part of the eyelid. Conjunctiva is a clear, transparent membrane that lines from the lid margin of the eyelid up to the corneal limbus.

[NOODLEDOC]

Can't see, can't pee, can't dance with me also works. Thank You for the video!
