Gonorrhea and Chlamydia Infections in Women.
Summary: Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are two very common infections that affect women. They are often called "silent" infections because many women have no symptoms and don't realize they are sick. However, if these bacteria are left untreated, they can spread to the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing serious pain and even making it impossible to have children later. This overview explains how these infections spread, how doctors test for them, and the antibiotics used to cure them. It also highlights the growing problem of drug-resistant bacteria and why regular screening is the best way to protect your health.
