Severe Vaginal Itching And Slight Bleeding At The End Of Treatment With Doxycycline For Chlamydia
After being diagnosed with chlamydia, I took the seven day treatment with doxycycline and just finished today, upon taking it I experienced severe vaginal itching and slight bleeding toward the end of the treatment. A few days ago I was also having problems with burning sensations while urinating and I was wondering if this was normal?

Hi,
It might be due to superinfection: Prolonged use of doxycycline may result in bacterial or fungal overgrowth and severe vaginal itching (particularly with fungal/Candidial vaginitis). You need a speculum examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
