Recurring symptoms

[totema]

hi,

I had unprotected sex and a couple of weeks after starting experiencing symptoms similar to a yeast infection. I went to get tested for Chlamydia and Gonnorhea but   thw results will take 15 days to arrive. Now the symptoms (vaginal discharge, pain when urinating) cleared after a few days but reapeared again. I was wondering if it was common for symptoms related to STDs to clear and then come back?
Thanks

Oh ok - the urine will be used to test for gonorrhea and chlamydia, I hope, as that is more accurate than blood testing.

All you can do now is wait, which I know stinks, but if the symptoms get worse, call the doctor.

Thanks AJ for responding to my post.
I assume the blood test was for detecting Chlamydia and Gonnorhea as that is the reason why I went there and those were the tests I asked for. They also took a urine sample but no exmination. In the meantime the physical symptoms come and go so... I am worried!

You need to have an exam, and some other testing done.  Do you know what the blood tests were for?

Thanks! I didnt get any meds, I was not even examined. The nurse just took a blood sample and that was it. I did not take meds for the first infection; it just cleared after a few days... Now I'm worried because 15 days to wait for results is so long!

Maybe the yeast infections meds calmed the skin down for a few days, and masked some symptoms, and that's why they disappeared for a few days.

Did they give you any meds, or do you have to wait until the results come back in?  If symptoms worsen, call your doctor promptly.
