Abstract
In the UK, many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are best managed in conjunction with an appropriate specialist, for example, a genitourinary medicine practitioner or a Microbiologist. In most of the world, however, gynaecologists routinely manage STIs in women. This article focuses on the most important infections in women, and those in which management is changing. It also addresses the current status, and new developments around the syndrome of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which essentially is an STI.
