Chlamydia scarring does not go away after antibiotic treatment, although the germ is gone and won't do further damage.
Chlamydia doesn't typically cause odor. See your health care provider for a recheck. You may have contracted trichomoniasis as well as chlamydia.

Chlamydia doesn't cause bumps or a rash. Bumps or a rash can be caused by many other things, including STDs (herpes, warts, trichomoniasis), dermatitis, and infections that aren't sexually transmitted. Most women and many men with chlamydia have no symptoms, so if you think there's any chance that you're infected, you should see your health care provider for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

A urine test for chlamydia won't make you bleed. A cervical swab may cause a small amount of spotting if your cervix is severely infected. One of the signs of chlamydia in females can be cervical bleeding with minimal contact.
Chlamydia is bacterial, and, like so many bacterial illnesses, it can be cured with antibiotics.
Cocci and bacilli do not cause chlamydia. Cocci cause gonorrhea.
Chlamydia can be a chronic or temporary disease. Ideally, a patient quickly learns about the infection and gets treatment; this treatment is completely curative and long-term infection will not occur. In addition, some patients will clear chlamydia without antibiotics, although nobody infected with chlamydia should avoid antibiotics. If chlamydia is left untreated, it can cause chronic complications, but these complications may persist after chlamydia is cleared with effective treatment. Lastly, it's possible to have untreated chlamydia for years without knowing. In that sense, chlamydia may be chronic.
