How rare is recurrence for chlamydia?
Chlamydia will likely recur in exposed to the bacteria again. Among teen females, one in four to one in five will have chlamydia again within two years of treatment. It is critical that all patients get retested for chlamydia three months after treatment. Annual testing and testing with a new partner are also important.
Does azithromycin cure chlamydia?
Both medications are listed by the CDC for treatment of chlamydia. Doxycycline used to be cheaper, and azithromycin easier to take, but since the 2013 doxycycline shortage started, azithromycin is both cheaper and easier.
Why do you keep getting chlamydia after two lots of antibiotics?
If your symptoms did not disappear after chlamydia treatment, you should contact your health care provider. You could have an additional infection, or could have a complicated cause requiring longer treatment.
How is trachoma treated?
Treatment of early-stage trachoma consists of four to six weeks of antibiotic treatment with tetracycline, erythromycin, or sulfonamides. Antibiotics should be given without waiting for laboratory test results.
How can you have four years of normal pap tests and this one comes back positive for chlamydia?
A pap smear does not detect chlamydia. A pap smear can not detect chlamydia, and a negative Pap smear does not indicate that you don't have chlamydia. So, yes, it's possible to have a Pap test for four years and not know you have chlamydia if your health care provider didn't do a specific test for chlamydia. Did your health care provider actually test for chlamydia in the prior four years? First check with your health care provider, and then you can try to figure out how you might have contracted it, if in fact you had a negative test as soon as a year ago.
What dose of erythromycin cures chlamydia?
Erythromycin is not a first-choice medication for chlamydia due to side effects and the need to take the medication so frequently. The correct dose is 500 mg of erythromycin base four times daily for seven days, or EES 800 mg four times daily for seven days for non-pregnant patients with chlamydia. You would be much better off with another treatment. See your health care provider for effective diagnosis and treament.
How do you use nordette as emergency contraception?
Take four active pills as soon as possible after the accident, and four active pills twelve hours later.
Can you be infertile after having chlamydia for four months?
Yes, you can be infertile after having chlamydia, but most people who had chlamydia are not infertile. You should abstain from vaginal sex or use contraception if you don't want to get pregnant. Untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause scarring which can impair fertility, but a history of chlamydia doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. In women, one in five with chlamydia develops pelvic inflammatory disease, sometimes without knowing. Of that fraction, one in five will be infertile.
Can you get chlamydia after four days of treatment?
If you got tested seven days after you started treatment, you got retested too soon. The tests used today will give a false positive result for weeks after treatment. Test of cure is not recommended; that is, you don't need to be tested to see if treatment worked, as it always does. However, because reinfection is common (due to unprotected sex with an untreated partner, or some other mishap), retesting is recommended two to three months after treatment. Next time you see a health care provider for testing, be sure to give the provider your complete history, so that you aren't misled by a test that should not have been done in your case.There is no known problem with lack of effectiveness of chlamydia treatment. If you used the correct treatment and took it as directed, and did not have sex during or after treatment, you should not be infected. If you still have symptoms, contact your health care provider. If you made the mistake of getting retested immediately after treatment, then that explains your misunderstanding -- you can't get restested until four to six weeks after treatment or you'll get a false positive test result.
