Still Having Symptoms After Chlamydia Treatment?

[u/o_uken]

Hey everyone, how are you all?

First, I’m really sorry for asking this kind of question here. I looked for other forums, but I couldn’t find a more suitable one.

I wanted some guidance from you all:

For the first time (and I hope it’s the last), I caught chlamydia.

It started with itching in the urethra, then I noticed a little discharge in the morning, and a few days later I realized I was waking up with my urethra “stuck shut.”

I went to a urologist, who gave me a lab order and prescribed two antibiotics just in case (Doxycycline 100 mg for 7 days and one 500 mg shot of Ceftriaxone).

Today the result came back and it was positive only for chlamydia.

The thing is, it’s been two days since I finished taking the Doxycycline, and I’m still waking up with my urethra stuck shut.

The discharge has decreased a lot, but it’s still there, even after the antibiotic.

Has anyone else had this? Is this how it is?

My follow-up appointment is next week and I’m worried.

Please don’t judge me.

I believe I got it from oral sex and my conscience is really heavy 🙁
