Hi and thanks for your query.
I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from chlamydia infection.
Squeezing it out or not make no difference. If you feel relaxed by doing it, then go on but it doe not in any way change the outcome or duration of treatment.
As you continue treatment, this urethral discharge would gradually reduce in volume and finally stop completely.
As for the doses and duration, you will need to consult your physician. Whenever you go down with an STD, others need to be investigated in order to provide you with a comprehensive treatment. Collecting samples of this discharge for culture and antibiotics sensitivity is very important. remember many other germs can cause similar symptoms and the treatment is not the same.
Please, always try to get protection during sex. It is very important to protect you from contracting STDs or contaminating your partner.
Hope this helps...Wish you good health.
