pelvic inflammatory disease

December 19th, 2011 by lu | Posted in General |

Sexually active women in their childbearing years are most at risk, and those under age 25 are more likely to develop PID than those older than 25. Two thirds of patients with laparoscopic evidence of previous pelvic inflammatory disease were not aware they had PID.
Without treatment, PID can lead to severe problems like infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain.
Any damage done to your pelvic organs before you start treatment likely cannot be undone. Still, don’t put off getting treatment. If you do, you may not be able to have children. If you think you may have PID, see a doctor right away.
