What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Chlamydia Infection?

Hi, I'm eighteen years old. I recently just recovered from a four year long drug addiction and now I'm really sacred I've done some untreatable damage. I just recently found out that there is a possibility that I have chlamydia (i don't know it its true and if i do have it i don't know for how long), which really scares me. However, I don't have any health insurance. I understand there are free clinics in SOME hospitals, but the closest free clinic too me is over a 30 minute drive, and I don't drive. I'm too scared too talk to anyone about it, and it's really taking a tole on me mentally. I'm so stressed out and I'm afraid that there is something really internally wrong with me. When I was seventeen I got raped and pregnant, and I was also a drug addict, so unfortunately the drugs took the baby. After that I went to a gino, they gave me a preganncy test and told me I wasnt pregnant anymore, they didn't check my insides or anything they said that i was good to go because the test wast positive. I'm afraid that I can't have another baby now after what i did. Also For the past two weeks my ribs have been really hurting me, at first it was such a piercing pain, almost as if i cracked them, but now it only hurts when i wake up and if i cough really hard, but however my body wont let me sneeze because the pain by my ribs gets really painful and then i just hold my nose until it goes away, before that happened I had this horrible stomach pain, I thought maybe i ripped my stomach lining, but that went away after a week of pain. Ontop of that, I've had my period for 11 days now, usually i get it from 4-5 days. I just really want this all too stop, I cry myself to sleep constantly, I cant even look at myself with out disgust in myself. I want to forget my past and my mistakes made, but all these problems on my body are really sacring me and making me think i'm gonig to die.

2. Tab Doxycycline 100 mg, one tab twice daily for one week.

alongwith this you have to maintain hygiene to prevent reinfection.
