Symptoms caused by chlamydia or gonorrhea?

Symptoms due to chlamydia or gonorrhea: what is normal?
Many people who have a sexually transmitted disease (STD) don't notice anything
but sometimes you can have symptoms. What is normal? How quickly do the
symptoms? When should you raise the alarm?
What symptoms can you get from chlamydia or gonorrhea?
With an infection with chlamydia or gonorrhea, you may experience discharge and itching, pain or
a burning sensation in the anus, urethra (men) or vagina (women). In addition
women have irregular bleeding from the vagina. Here (link to page with STI
testing) you can read more about the different STIs.
How soon after treatment will I be rid of my symptoms?
Als je positief bent getest op chlamydia of gonorroe, is het belangrijk dat je je laat
behandelen. Dit gebeurt met antibiotica. Voor chlamydia is dat met tabletten, voor gonorroe
krijg je een injectie. Had je klachten door de soa? Dan kan het na de behandeling nog even
duren voor die helemaal weg zijn. Vaak merk je dat ze snel minder worden en meestal zijn
ze binnen een week helemaal over. Maar het kan ook wat langer duren, soms tot wel 3 à 4
weken na de behandeling. Dit betekent niet per se dat de soa er ook nog zit. Als je klachten
hebt door een soa, dan is het weefsel geïnfecteerd en ontstoken. Dit heeft soms wat langer
de tijd nodig om te genezen.
When should I sound the alarm?
In most cases, after treatment for chlamydia or gonorrhea, you don't need to do anything;
we know that the antibiotics you get work very well! However, it is always important that you
not have sex for a week, because during that time you can still transmit the STI to your
sex partner. But with what symptoms do you ring the bell again? It is in any case
wise if your symptoms have not gone away 6 weeks after the treatment. It is possible that you
retesting or treatment. Have your symptoms disappeared and are you now experiencing
new symptoms? Or have you had unsafe sex again? Then we also advise you to
contact us.
