The following are the most common symptoms of chlamydia. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. The symptoms of chlamydia may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis. It is especially important for pregnant women infected with chlamydia to be treated, as the consequences for a newborn who has passed through the birth canal of an infected mother are quite serious.
Viruses are a common cause of vaginitis, with most being spread through sexual contact.
These sores are generally visible on the vulva, or vagina, but occasionally are inside the vagina and can only be found during a pelvic examination. Often stress or emotional situations can be a factor in triggering an outbreak of herpes. This virus causes painful warts to grow on the vagina, rectum, vulva, or groin. However, visible warts are not always present, in which case, the virus is generally detected by a Pap test. Noninfectious vaginitis usually refers to vaginal irritation without an infection being present.
