Abstract
Urethritis and cervicitis are common medical conditions from sexually transmitted organisms. While often symptomatic in males, it can be asymptomatic and difficult to diagnose in females. One must maintain a high index of suspicion and have a low threshold to treat, as they are easily eradicated if treated early but can have serious reproductive health consequences if left untreated.
