A member asked:

Is brown discharge normal after bring treated for chlamydia? or does it mean you could be reinfected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need re-testing: Yes, this might be a sign of incomplete treatment or re-infection. You absolutely must get re-tested. It could also be a sign of a vaginal infection caused by the antibiotics that you were on for the chlamydia!
