What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Chlamydia?

Hiya mate, I have recently started to worry that I may have clymedia, However in the past couple months i have treated a pysriasis rash with flucloxacillin. I was wondering if the properties of this antibiotic would have also proved effective in treating the disease if i had it in the first place?
I know this isn't entirely a dermatology question sorry.

Kind Regards

Joe

Hey thanks for your faith in the health care magic.i have gone through your question and understood your problem.

around half of all men with chlamydia don't notice any symptoms. If men do get symptoms, the most common include:
pain when urinating
discharge from the tip of the penis (this can be a white, cloudy or watery discharge)
pain in the testicles

VDRL test panel is for syphilis and does not routinely test for Chlamydia and must be tested for separately. Chlamydia is treated with antibiotics. You may receive a one-time dose, or you may need to take the medication daily or multiple times a day for five to 10 days. Doxycycline is drug of choice for treating chlamydia infection.

Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
