Question about Anal Chlamydia and Anal C
I recently received my test results, which showed a Chlamydia IgG test result of 1:32. I've already completed a course of Doxycycline treatment. I'm concerned about the potential risk of anal cancer associated with anal Chlamydia.
Could you please provide me with more information about:
1. The likelihood of developing anal cancer given my test results and treatment?
2. Any additional steps I can take to reduce my risk of anal cancer?
3. Recommended follow-up testing or check-ups to monitor for potential complications?
Thank you for your time and expertise. I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best regards,
Ravi

1. Very low likelihood
2. There is not proven prophylaxis for anal cancer till date.
3. If you have pain with stools or bleeding, consult a surgeon , in the future
Friendly advice: Follow screening guidelines for routine cancers. Anal cancer doesn’t fall in that category. Stop worrying about anal cancer
