If your doctor diagnoses you with chlamydia, she’ll prescribe you a course of antibiotics, which is the only way to treat the disease besides prevention. Generally the infection will disappear after 1 or 2 weeks.  The first line treatment is azithromycin (1 g taken orally in a single dose) or doxycycline (100 mg taken orally twice daily for 7 days).  Your treatment may be a one-time dose or you may need to take it daily or many times a day for 5-10 days.  Your sexual partner(s) also require treatment even if they have no symptoms of chlamydia. This will keep you and your partner(s) from passing the disease back and forth between one another.  Do not share your medication for chlamydia with anyone. If you are pregnant and have chlamydia, your doctor may prescribe azithromycin in your second or third trimester to decrease the risk of transmitting the disease to your baby. Your chlamydia infection will be treated during pregnancy at the time of discovery you will be tested again to ensure the infection has resolved. After birth, your doctor will screen your newborn and treat her accordingly.  If you give birth and transmit chlamydia to your newborn, your doctor will treat the disease with antibiotics to prevent pneumonia or a serious eye infection in your baby.  Most doctors will prophylactically administer an erythromycin eye ointment to help prevent a chlamydia-related eye infection from affecting your newborn’s eyes.  You and your doctor should monitor your newborn for chlamydia-related pneumonia for at least the first three months of her life.  If your baby has chlamydia-related pneumonia, your doctor will likely prescribe erythromycin or azithromycin. During the course of your chlamydia treatment, abstain from all sexual activity including oral and anal sex. This may help from spreading the disease to your partner and decrease your risk of reinfection.  If you take a single dose of medication, avoid sexual activity for seven days after you take the dose.  If you take a seven day course of medication, avoid sexual activity for the duration of your treatment. If your symptoms of chlamydia persist after a course of treatment, it’s important to see your doctor as soon as possible. Managing and treating these symptoms and the disease will help ensure that you don’t have a recurrence or contract a more serious condition or complication. Not addressing symptoms or recurrences can result in reproductive health complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, which can permanently damage reproductive organs, and ectopic pregnancy.
