Hi, I went to the docter and was diagnosed
with chlamydia. I got my presecription
for seven days of medicine. I took all
of it and now about a week aqfter I
finished my prescription I am starting to
feel the chlamydia symptoms again. Is it
possible that the medicine didn't work, or
is this normal. Please help me if you
have any insight. Also how long do you
have to have chlamydia for it to be
considered untreated and damaging.

Here is the thing....I am sure your doctor
told you to refrain from any sexual
activity (especially with a partner) for
atleast 2 weeks. If not than he/she
should have. What can happen is even if
your taking the medicine you could give it
to a partner thus your partner giving it
back to you. If you have abstained from
sex and have faithfully taken your
medication as directed you will be fine.
Generally if left untreated for more than
6 months it can be damaging. It varys on
the person though.

You should, having or not sex in the
meantime, have this checked and see if you
are chlamydia free. It is much easier
than wondering around if you had it or
not, if you were going to spread it or
suffer from infertility if it stays in the
body.
