Question 1

i think i've had chlamydia for about a year but no symptoms i went to my doctor i was told i was diagnosed with it, will it take longer to cure fully?

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia: no it should not take any longer to cure it. You may want to return to your doctor after treatment to be rechecked for a cure.  Discuss this with your doctor.

Question 2

i submitted a urine specimen for trich, chlamydia, and chlamydia 3 days ago and the results are still pending. does this mean its positive? do positive results take longer to complete?

Accepted Answer

: No but sometimes labs run things in batches so it takes a little longer or perhaps their machine is down.  Just be patient and try not to stress.

Question 3

was recently given ept (400mg cefixime + 1g azith) to take to a partner for possible gon/chlamydia urethritis. this particular partner has kidney disease. would a single 400mg cefixime dose be appropriate? is renal adjustment just for longer courses?

Accepted Answer

Partner should se Dr: Your partner should see their Dr before taking any medication. Renal disease can change how certain medications are eliminated from the bloodstream and can cause many medications to stay in circulation longer due to the reduced clearance which can then lead to severe side effects. The other consideration is what other medications is your partner taking.

Question 4

i was cleared of chlamydia and gonorrhea last time i had my exam. i wish she would have said the std test would take longer so i would known.

Accepted Answer

GC / Chlamydia: In my office we perform a nucleic acid assay for gonorrhea and chlamydia...its from the urine.  It takes 48 hours generally.

Question 5

i was diagnosed with chlamydia 2 days ago by my gp and he gave me 6 azithromycin 250mg to drink 2 daily. the problem is today is my last day of drinking them and the symptoms still don't go away. does it take longer for the symptoms to disappear?

Accepted Answer

Give it time: I would not expect any change in symptoms in less than a week if not a little longer. The med you are taking is somewhat different than many others. It attaches to fat cells in your body and leaks out into your blood over a 2+ week period to do its work. This allows it to be given in a short time while working much longer.

Question 6

can you take alcohol with azithromycin and if so does it reduce the effects or will it just take longer to heal the chlamydia took the four tablets it's been four days and i've had three glasses of wine in between?

Accepted Answer

No problem: This amount of alcohol will have no effect at all on healing of your chlamydial infection.

Question 7

if someone has chlamydia and they take  azithromycin and stops have sex for 7 days, do they no longer have it after the 7 days? if thats so, why does the doctor ask to come back 3 months later?

Accepted Answer

About perfection...: Life is not perfect. Not everybody who takes a recommend medication gets rid of her infection. Each human is different and may respond differently to the same treatments. The recommended medication is what works in most people. One should follow up with her doctor to be sure the treatment worked and of course, to discuss whether or not there is a need to check for re-infection in the near future.

Question 8

how long does it take for chlamydia to develop into pid?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say...: If untreated 10 to 15% of women with chlamydia may develop pelvic inflammatory disease (pid). Pid may start developing within weeks to months of infection. Or it may take longer in others.

Question 9

how long does it take for chlamydia to go away after being treated?

Accepted Answer

About 7 days: It takes 7 days after the treatment to be cured and you can resume sex, as long as both partners are treated.Otherwise the recurrences may happen.

Question 10

how long does it take for chlamydia to make a female infertile?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If treated, chlamydia can be cured. Sexually active women under 25 should be tested. Untreated, about 40% of women with untreated chlamydia will develop pelvic inflammatory disease (pid). Pid infects the cells of the cervix, spreads to the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries causing infertility.
