Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection or inflammation of the female reproductive system. It can damage one or more organs, including the cervix uterus (womb) and endometrium (uterine lining), fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
Overview
PID can cause chronic pelvic pain in some people while symptoms might be minor or silent in others meaning some people may be unaware they have PID.PID is curable; however, if left untreated it can result in infertility ectopic pregnancy, and reproductive system damage. PID can affect anyone, although it is more frequent in sexually active women in their 20s. It is usually an ascending infection that begins in the lower genital tract and spreads upward. The majority of PID cases are caused by a sexually transmitted illness. PID is primarily diagnosed clinically and should be suspected in female patients who have lower abdomen or pelvic pain and genital tract tenderness.
