    Question

    I am 18 years old. I have been on birth control for the past 11 months. I was recently diagnosed with chlamydia, and got treated for it the same day. I had a yellowish, brown sort of discharge a few days after, I also had a sex a week after I was diagnosed an now I have the yellowish green sort of discharge. What could this be?

    Answer

    You do not mention if the sex was with the same partner, but unless he was treated, chances are good you have Chlmayia again. Please get tested, and if positive you both have to be treated before resuming sexual activity. Remember most people have no symptoms! Another option is that you were not completely cured -- either way, see your doctor!
