How do you know if you have gonorrhea or chlamydia?

Serious answers please!!! I am a married woman and I am absolutely faithful. My husband is deployed and came home two weeks ago for R and R. I begin to have diarrha and feel sick at my stomach as well as having joint pain. I went to the doctor today thinking I have stomach problems after it not going away for 11 days. They made a appointment for the gynocologist and a gastrologists. They were asking me all sorts of questions about discharge and sex and when I got home I had been prescribed a antiboditic that treats gonorrhea and chlamydia. Just wondering if I should be concerned or is this protocall.

I was not given a swab test, this was a general medicine doctor and so he referred me to a gyno but by the time I get to him I will have been on antiboditics and I will never know just wondering if these symptoms even fit a STD.

It's a little strange that you were given antibiotics based on suspicion, rather than a definitive test result.
Both gonorrhea and chlamydia can be diagnosed by taking a swab of your cervix (done during a pelvic exam.) It is possible to have had both for a long time; most women have no symptoms. But it's completely worthless to treat you and not your partner as well, assuming you really do have one of those (doesn't sound like you are sure yet.)

I wish you the best...I would ask specifically what the antibiotics were for, and if you were actually tested or they just "think" you might have it.
