What Causes Recurrent Chlamydia Infection After Treatment?

I tested positive for chlamydia 6 months ago. I took the prescription given and cleared up?? A month later I felt like I had the same symptoms when back and tested negative. A month ago I felt like I had same symptoms did not get tested, and signs went away. Now a month later the signs/ symptoms or back? Can chlamydia come back? Could it be something more? Help!!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If your partner was not treated or the treatment was ineffective then you could have been re infected.

You should consider being retested to see if the symptoms are due to chlamydia or if due to any other conditions/infections.
This would require repeat blood tests and swabs.

I hope this helps
