Feedback:
Women with chlamydial infection may be asymptomatic and may unknowingly experience damage to the reproductive system. A large number of cases go unreported because most people with chlamydial infection are asymptomatic and do not seek testing. Herpes simplex virus (HSV), syphilis, and gonorrhea consistently produce symptoms in infected women.
