Schedule a follow-up test with your doctor two to four weeks after completing your chlamydia treatment. This confirms the infection is gone.
Avoid sexual contact until your follow-up test shows you’re infection-free. This protects your partner(s).
Inform all sexual partners about your infection. They need testing and treatment to prevent reinfection.
If you experience any symptoms like pain during urination, abdominal pain, or unusual discharge, contact your doctor immediately. Don’t delay treatment.
Understand that reinfection is possible. Practice safe sex consistently to reduce your risk.
Consider using condoms consistently during sexual activity. This protects against many STIs, including chlamydia.
If your symptoms persist or worsen after treatment, contact your doctor. This may indicate a treatment failure or a different infection.
Maintaining open communication with your doctor throughout the process is key for successful treatment and long-term health.
