What Causes Diarrhea While On Doxycycline?
Question: SO i have done an STI test on 17/5 which the nurse told me that chlamydia was found in my bum.
SO i had been taking doxycycline 100mg twice per day for a week (finished treatment on 27/5). Until now i still have loose stools for almost 2 weeks. i'm still afraid that i still have chlamydia so i have asked the nurse if i should get theChlamydia test again but she said no and i should go back to check after 3months. So, do you think i still have the chlamydia in my body? i am very worried about it

I think that in view of ongoing symptoms, you should get a culture report again.
Meanwhile, continue with the antibiotics.
If possible, upload the report of the last culture report.Best of luck.
