Can chlamydia recur after treatment

Answer 1

If infected again, yes it will return after treatment. It won't return on its own unless you were reinfected. About one in ten patients gets reinfected with chlamydia soon after treatment, so repeat testing 2-3 months later is recommended.

Answer 2

There are increasing problems with antibiotic resistance in gonorrhea. If you believe you have it after treatment, abstain from sexual contact and see your health care provider for further evaluation.

Answer 3

You can get chlamydia more than once. Treatment for chlamydia eliminates the disease, but you can catch it again immediately after treatment.
Yes; you can be infected again with the bacteria after treatment.

Answer 4

Recurrence of chlamydia infections are common, but the situation is completely preventable by the patient. Chlamydia won't return unless you didn't finish treatment properly, or caught it again.

The most common reason is reexposure after treatment. You must abstain from oral, anal, and vaginal sex and genital-genital contact for seven days after treatment. Don't even have contact with a condom. Also, not following the treatment plan or discontinuing the use of the prescribed antibiotics may lead to the re-establishment of large amounts of bacteria that leads to infection.

Reexposure to chlamydia is so common that patients are routinely adivsed to be retested in three months after treatment. This recommendation isn't because the antibiotics aren't reliable; it's because the patients catch the germ again.

Answer 5

You must be re-infected in order for chlamydia to return.
