Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Chlamydia is very sensitive to azithromycin.Even a single dose is enough for clearing it.But if doxycycline then it should be taken twice daily for one week.So you can stop worrying about that now.If you have any associated discharge or symptoms it can be associated with other conditions like gonorrhea.So if you have such symptoms approach your doctor to rule out that by culture of swab from urethra.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
