Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
I have reviewed your history,
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection, it is transmitted by having unprotected sex by any means like oral,vaginal and anal.
Probably you have contacted this infection from your Ex husband.
The common treatment for chlamydia is a course of antibiotics, if you take it according to the instructions of your doctor it is very effective.
Treatment of chlamydia involves taking a course of antibiotic tablets either as a single dose or a longer course (up to two weeks).
You may require your doctors prescription to take medicine.
Hope you got he clear idea about your condition.
Thank you.
