if you were effectively treated its likely that the discharge is a yeast infection. however, if the its the same as you had when you went in, it could also be a recurrence. consult your doctor.

I would get that checked out again. When I was in the army I had the same problem with a white discharge. They told me chlymidia is a tiny type of bacteria which is hard to detect and sometimes it is hard to quickly identify it. Once I had learned I had chlymidia they gave me a antibiotic which cleared it up over three days and there was no more which discharge. I would get that checked out again. Peace.

thy treated u for gonorrhea becoz thy often occur together.different ppl hv different rates of recovery so u mayb a little slower in recovering.or maybe ur hygiene regime is not consistent.u shld not take spicy food n wear panties made out of cotton.try avoidin pantyhose n stuff made of nylon.so,all this may affect ur recovery.wait for another month or so if u still hv d discharge thn c ur doctor again.tc

The two go hand in hand and most clincs normally treat you for both just in case......you might have a yeast infection or something you should go back to the doctor and get tested again

Did you return for a test of cure?...find out if the medication worked? They should have had you do this. Go see the doctor who diagnosed you and ask him to retest you for Chlamydia...I know it's a pain, but Chlamydia is a forerunner to cervical cancer.

That's what the heck you get. You prolly got a yeast infection.

The Deadly Diseases

Syphilis no longer kills millions as it did in Columbus’ day, but it is still dangerous. Medical science says that the spiral-shaped syphilis bacterium (Treponema pallidum) exudes from open sores or rashes on a victim’s genitals. Infection occurs during sexual relations. Once inside its new victim, T. pallidum heads for the bloodstream and lymphatic system and, if unchecked, eventually infects the entire body. But the syphilis bacteria are insidiously slow. Ten to 90 days go by before the victim notices the characteristic syphilitic sore at the place of the germ’s entry—usually the genitals. Untreated, the invader can do irreparable damage to the vital organs, even to the point of causing death.

Second-century physician Galen coined the name for the age-old partner of syphilis—gonorrhea. Its telltale symptom is a burning sensation during urination. But, says the U.S. Department of Health: “In women . . . symptoms may not be sufficient to provoke the patient’s suspicion or motivate her to seek care.” And in men the symptoms generally disappear in a couple of months. Nevertheless, doctors say gonorrhea can still work its way into the blood system and infect vital organs, and women are especially prone to gonorrhea complications. Said The Journal of the American Medical Association: “The most severe of these complications is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) . . . Almost 1 million women are treated for PID in the United States each year.” With what result? “Involuntary infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain.”

Interestingly, though, perhaps the majority of the cases of PID are caused by a disease most people have never even heard of—chlamydia. Says the CDC (Centers for Disease Control): “Infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis are the most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases in the United States today.” The Age similarly reported that the increase of chlamydial infections poses an “insidious danger” to Australians. The symptoms of chlamydia are enough of a look-alike to gonorrhea to fool even doctors.

“Unfortunately,” says Dr. Yehudi M. Felman, “many physicians still think of chlamydia as a minor-league disease.” (Medical World News) But to the estimated two-and-a-half to three million victims of chlamydial infections in the United States alone, the disease is hardly “minor-league.” Nor is it “minor-league” to babies, often stricken with pneumonia or even blindness, who are born to infected mothers.

Syphilis and gonorrhea have thus lost some of their prominence among STD’s. In Great Britain diseases other than syphilis and gonorrhea (including some of the more obscure ones like chancroid and granuloma inguinale) account for 84 percent of the STD cases requiring treatment. Why, though, does this plague remain on the scene in the first place?

“Passed From the Scene”

“As a result of antibiotic therapy,” pronounced Dr. John F. Mahoney in 1949, “gonorrhea has almost passed from the scene as an important clinical and public health entity.” These words typified the faith the medical profession—and the public at large—bestowed upon the new wonder drugs such as penicillin. Convinced that science had dealt STD a deathblow, many doctors simply lost interest in studying it. In Central and West Africa UN-sponsored programs to eradicate syphilis and other related diseases seemed so effective that officials even relaxed their surveillance activities.

The rapid changes of the 1960’s thus caught almost everyone off guard. Between ‘1965 and 1975 the number of reported cases of gonorrhea in the United States tripled.’ (CDC) The rise in the tourist trade, spawned by jet air travel, helped spread disease from country to country. A worldwide STD epidemic was therefore brewing, but as Theodor Rosebury wrote in Microbes and Morals, “The appalling discovery was made that young doctors and medical students knew practically nothing about [STD].”

Doctors have therefore had a tough time catching up with the epidemic growth of STD’s, even though they claim that effective cures exist for most of them. People are simply contracting the diseases faster than doctors can cure them.

While a number of sexually transmitted diseases have plagued mankind for many years, two in particular have been highly publicized recently. These are herpes and AIDS. What these involve will be considered in the following article.

[Footnotes]

STD’s can be contracted in ways other than through sexual contact and, hence, are not always evidence of promiscuity.

The WHO (World Health Organization) reports that penicillin-resistant strains of gonorrhea have “spread to almost all areas of the world.” The “inappropriate use of antibiotics” has been blamed for this disturbing development. While effective alternate drugs do exist, the WHO observed that because of penicillin-resistant gonorrhea, “more and more treatment failures will occur leading to extended periods of infectivity of the patient and an increased risk of complicated disease, particularly in females.”
