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.

Hello, I was also infected with Chlamydia back in October, unfortunately I was misdiagnosed twice, that is why I am under treatment only now in March.
I was prescribed fluomizin and probiotics before the third test came positive for chlamydia. This is when my symptoms worsened, with fluomizin.
After starting treatment with doxycycline I have exactly the same symptoms as you prescribe - back and lower abdominal pain on the left side and discharge.. It is day 3, I hope will be better. But I think it is connected with the ovary and ovarian tube.
Maybe you should check your ovarian tubes, or pass a laparoscopic exam to be sure that everything is fine, or it is possible that it will take time to pass. I read everywhere that permanent or long term pelvic pain often happens after chlamydia is treated.
I wish you soonest recovery.

I also had numb hands so bad my daughter set up for hours that I mean it would be okay and she was only five at the time. I still have numbness everyday and the other symptoms are the same as most mentioned. I stopped taking it Feb of 2023 and it is still bad. I pray that we all get back to our old selves!

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

No, it definitely not just you. If I’ve learned something from this website thread is that Im not crazy and a lot of women are dealing with this. All Drs seem to he clueless:( I’ve gone to different drs and at least 20 appointments. It’s truly frustrating because Same all problems started when i got chlamydia. Before that I had never had any issues down there. And now it’s a daily thing.
Check your private messages. I’ll send you my email there
