Chlamydia is a relatively common infection, with approximately 3 million new cases reported each year. And it is transmitted through sexual intercourse, which leads to the lack of sexual relations between the spouses until it is cured.

As for the duration of recovery from chlamydia, chlamydia usually disappears within one to two weeks, and during this period you should avoid having sex. To prevent disease transmission, your doctor may prescribe a single dose of the drug or a drug that you take every day for about a week.

If your doctor prescribes a single-dose pill, you must wait 7 days before having sex again. If you have been taking the drug for 7 days, wait 1 week after your last dose before engaging in sexual activity.

After 3 months of recovery from chlamydia, tests and examinations must also be done again. Because repeat transmission of chlamydia is common.

How do you know when the recovery time for chlamydia has expired?

You should notice a quick improvement after treatment, by:

• An improvement in discharge or pain when urinating within a week.
• Bleeding between periods has improved by the next period.
• Pelvic pain and testicular pain should start to improve quickly, but it can take up to two weeks for the pain to go away.

But if you suffer from pain in the pelvis or when having sex and the pain does not improve with treatment, you should consult a doctor. To get further treatment or check for other possible causes of the pain.
