Problems after chlamydia treatment

Posted by sparky1080 @sparky1080, Jul 24, 2021

I was infected with chlamydia at the end of January this year, and was tested mid-March and finished treatment early April (10 days of doxycycline).

I didn’t really have any symptoms besides some thicker discharge which went away, so I wasn’t really aware that I was infected.

Ever since being treated I’m experiencing weird symptoms, yet my tests are always negative.

I had Weird discharge (thick cervical mucus) and blood on may 7 (after finishing antibiotics at the beginning of April), which was the same day I tested again to ensure the infection was gone, test was negative.

I’ve been experiencing the following symptoms:

1. Lower abdominal pain by uterus /bladder, feels inflamed, sometimes feels like stabbing, urethra pain, also had some lower back pain on the left

2. Pain and itch inside on the left

3. Pain in muscle around pubic bone/groin - hurts when I exercise, sometimes when walking

4. Lack of vaginal discharge, some improvement with gynoflor (at one point it was very dry, small chunks)

I keep getting pelvic exams and ultrasounds and the doctor keep saying everything is fine. I was prescribed gynoflor and fluomizin as she thought maybe it was irritation from yeast after the antibiotics.

I went to another doctor and he did an ultrasound and found fluid in my cul de sac behind Uterus, either from the infection or a ruptured cyst and that it could be causing the pain. He also said my body should absorb it . But this doesn’t explain all of the symptoms.

My Period has been shorter lately (may and June) only 3 days long, usually 4/5.

I’m really worried and getting extremely anxious and crying every day over this. I just want it to go away. If anyone has any advice or has had something similar happen it would be great to hear from you.

Did anyone ever find and relief or answers? I had chlamydia 2 months ago. I've been retested for that and various other things since and everything is negative. I'm having random itches/ periods of intense vaginal burning/ frequent urination which burns- my bladder is very tender to touch/ right sided pelvic pain and more painful periods. I was treated with doxy for 7 days. I'm always uncomfortable and I'm at a total loss

My symptoms gradually went away after I started drinking huge amounts of water and cranberry juice. But my symptoms wasn't as mild. I'm not sure if this helps but I hope you find the answer that you need.

Thanks Marie I'm definitely going to try the cranberry. My symptoms really impact my day to day life- they're quiet bad- ease up then get worse again. Pelvic pain also- I'm wondering if maybe I have pid

Hi, thank you!

Yes I’m seeing an ob/gyn. I‘m in Germany and GPs just send you to the ob/gyn right away with vaginal issues. However, I did my original STI testing and chlamydia treatment with a GP practice that specializes in infections. However, after these symptoms started after treatment they sent me to the ob/gyn.

I have read through that conversation already, but it didn’t really seem like it was ever solved?

Hi Sparkly,
I’m also dealing with same problems. After chlamydia my life is not the same. I cured it with azitromicin and tested again 3 times and always was negative but vaginal discharge and all symptoms you listed are still there. This is lasting for one year and more… please let me know have you cured yourself and how! I’ve also done all other test for STI’s and they were negative (ghonorea, HPV, micoplasma and ureaplasma…) and also BV bacterial and Candida weren’t isolated.
Please, let me know if you find something that helped you!!!!

You’re definitely not alone! This has been going on for 4 months now for me. It’s put me in a very dark place. I keep getting all kinds of tests done but they all come back normal. What are your symptoms?

Well the stinging for sure isn’t as bad as when i had chlamydia, it still a lingering burn throughout the day. Some days are definitely better than others. In my case after the chlamydia. The antibiotics gave me BV. I went back to the clinic and then told me that those antibiotics gave me a yeast infection. So i went back and they said i had a lingering yeast infection. Went back and told me i was cleared from everything but i still felt burning so i started taking boric acid for 2 weeks. Pain was still present so then i went to an actual gynecologist and she gave me antibiotics again for BV even though i didn’t have that but took them anyways. It’s been a never ending cycle. I have an appointment with another gynecologist next week so get another opinion

Hey, well Im going on month 8 with these symptoms:( your not alone i also speak to another girl on a weekly basis that i met from this site (we just email eachother to talk about out feelings and symptoms) but as far as updates recently got a pelvic ultrasound sound, everything came back normal. I went to see a specialist gyno/urologist 2 weeks ago she basically told me she doesn’t think it’s vaginal related, since all tests come back normal. she thinks its a skin issue (even though i feel it in my nerves) but she prescribed me an ointment Nystatin and triamcinolone. im supposed to use it for a month, so im hoping this works because im so ovet this. I’ve become so depressed, and hopeless myself

Hi! Thank you for your answer. You’re the first one who I met that have same issue like me. In some point I thought that this is happening only to me.
I’ve also used Nystatin it is antifugal medicine but it didn’t help me because in my bacteriological test there aren’t positive fungi or yeast.
But let me know, maybe it will work with you.
I’m dealing with this over a year and doctors are telling me that everything is fine but I can’t be relaxed because every time when I’m not using medicine or something my symptoms gets worse: I feel burning and itching.
Did you try using doxycycline again, after chlamydia treatment? And if you did, for how long did you use it?
What are your symptoms? What is color of vaginal discharge?
I somehow think that this chlamydia never gone away in total and that she is causing these symptoms because with her all problems started.
