chlamydia??? - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Message Board

Hello,

Last Monday, Labor Day, I visited a girl. We had oral sex. The following day My throat was sore and a yellow discharge was noticed from my penis. I don't notice the discharge very often but it is still there. My throat is still a little sore as well. A burning feeling is not felt when I urinate all the time. Only slightly when I first begin to urinate. It has been nearly a week. Besides the slight burning when I first urinate and a faint sore throat and the discharge everything seems normal.

Is the sore throat connected with the discharge?

Do I have chlamydia?

Is there a way to get rid of whatever is causing this without seeing a physician? (diet plan, exercise plan, waiting it out, ect.)

I feel rather embarressed and unsure of what to do. I do not have a doctor or insurance or money to see a doctor. Thank you for any help.

Hi,

If you think there is a chance you have chlamydia try to get it tested as soon as you can. I myself had chlamydia about a month or so ago. It will not go away by itself you need anti-biotics to get rid of it. The doc will either give you a single dose or 7-10 days worth of dosage. If you let it go untreated for a while it could lead to more serious problems. 3 weeks after i finished my treatment i did a follow up re-test and it was gone. Best of luck to you.

No. If it is chlamydia, it will not go away on its own, and you need a doctor to treat it. If money is a problem, consider going to Planned Parenthood (they see men, too) or to your local health department. These places usually are low cost or charge on a sliding scale.

Good luck.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I am starting to think it is not chlamydia because all the symptoms have dissappeared. I have been taking natural herbs and supplements and lots of water and other such things. Maybe it went away.

If it comes back I will most likely see a doctor. Thanks again.

You might want to get checked out anyway. It is possible for the symptoms of chlamydia to appear early in the infection and then go away. Then an infected person might not have any further symptoms for years or even longer until the disease reaches an advanced stage, at which point the damage might already be done.

So it might be worth it to get looked at now, just in case.

Good luck.
