Chlamydiae

Intracellular bacteria that generate serious upper gynecologic urinary infections (cervicitis, adnexitis), leading to abdominal pain, fever, leukorrhea and bleeding outside menstruation. Unfortunately, this infection can also be asymptomatic.
It can lead to intra-abdominal adhesions and cause fertility problems due to obstruction of the fallopian tubes.
