Odds of Chlamydia infection spreading to anus....

Hi.
3 weeks ago I got Chlamydia (from a girl) in my penis, and after taking the nessaccary medication (2 weeks ago), it has cleared up now. But 5 days after I had take the treatment medication for it, I started having chronic itching around my anus, and hasnt stopped since. It stings every so often, is worse after I go to the toilet, im farting alot, and it just feels "loose"...also seems to be a bit "runny" down there at times, but I cant tell is it's discharge or just poo seeping out from the farts. Nice....
Im just wondering if theres anyway that the Chlamydia couldve infected my anus from my initial penis case. Ive never particapited in any anal sexual activity, so the only way it couldve got there is through maybe my anus somehow coming into contact with my discharge or something from the week before...maybe my boxers had the the infection on it and it touched my anus...I dunno!!!

It might not be anything linked to Chlamydia, but all I know is I feel like I have the symptoms, and seeing as I've NEVER had something like this before, and I NEVER get ill/infections/virus etc, it just seems a bit coincidental.

Anyways main question is, whats the odds if me catching Chlamydia in the anus, from my inital infection in my penis???

Thanks

Your problem doesn't have to do with chlamydia. I suggest you go visit your doctor.

pruritis ani, can be caused by many culprits. hygeine, diaper rash which is ofcourse a fungal infection. clammydia easily clears up with antibiotics. fungal infection due to antibiotics is clearly a possibility.go see an md if symptoms persist.
