Need help with CLhamydia
| Fri, 10-10-2003 - 1:00pm |
I was diagnosed with chlamydia this June. When I went back to the clinic where I got checked (it was the department of health services..something) they gave me a medicine to drink, and the lady told me that the disease would be gone in 7 to 10 days. That I couldn't have sex for that period of time so the infection wouldn't reappear. My boyfriend was also treated for the disease even though his results came back negative. But when I went to my doctor for my annual, she told me I had chlamydia again. I was in a monogamous relationship, and my boyfriend couldn't have given it to me because he went and got checked again and his results were still negative. I asked the doctor and she said that sometimes the disease is hard to get rid off, and that I should go back again in 3 months and get checked again. She said sometimes two partners can have unprotected sex and one of them may carry a disease and the other one may not. My major concern is that if this disease is left untreated, I read it can cause infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease. I need to know if what my doctor is telling me is true and am I going to have this disease for a long time. Please help me.

It seems odd to me that your doctor would send you away for 3 months without giving you any medicine.
hope this helps
