What is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries. It is the most common serious infection among young women, It usually affects sexually active women during their childbearing years. About one in every seven women receives treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease at some point in her life.  

Pelvic inflammatory disease is the most common preventable cause of infertility. The infection can cause tissue inside the fallopian tubes to become scarred, which can damage the fallopian tubes or block them completely. The more often a woman gets this infection, the greater her risk of becoming infertile. Researchers believe most cases develop from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), infections that are spread through sexual contact. The two diseases most likely to lead to pelvic inflammatory disease are gonorrhea and chlamydia. Without treatment, the same bacteria that cause these diseases also can cause pelvic inflammatory disease. 

Pelvic inflammatory disease is most common in women younger than age 25 who have more than one sex partner. Women who have had an STD have a higher risk of getting pelvic inflammatory disease, as do those who have already had a previous pelvic infection. Any woman whose sex partner has more than one sex partner is also at increased risk of pelvic infection.  

In addition to infection, PID involves inflammation – and possible scarring – of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and/or the cervix. If left unchecked and untreated, PID can cause scarring that leads to infertility issues down the road.

Some of the symptoms you should pay attention to include:

Unexplained fever. 

Bleeding in between periods or irregular periods. 

Pain in the upper-right abdomen. 

Pelvic pain or discomfort. 

Pain or discomfort during intercourse. 

Painful bowel movements. 

Pain or discomfort when you urinate. 

Nausea and vomiting. 

Difficulty conceiving. 

This is one reason why it is not recommended that young women purchase AZO or other over-the-counter, urinary pain relief often– you could be masking the only clue of your PID. After a few days, the pain might fade, but PID can live on and continue wreaking havoc in female reproductive organs! It’s advice you go for a proper medical checkup/scan to know your stand.
