    Question

    i've been treated for chlamydia & gonorrhea. i was wondering how long it takes for the symptoms to go away? what if you still have white milky disharge?

    Answer

    If your symptoms have not gone away and you finished the medication, I would suggest you go back to the doctor who gave you the medicine and get checked again. Remember it is important not to have sex with your partner until he (or they) are treated as well - even if there are no symptoms. Good luck!
