PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE AND INFERTILITY.
1. DEFINITION OF PID.
Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of female reproductive organs that affects the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. The infection usually spreads from the va**na to the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries to cause PID.
2. CAUSES
Many bacteria can cause PID, but the most common are gonorrhea and chlamydia which are s*xually transmissible infections.
Other bacteria such as Gardnerella can also cause PID.
3. SYMPTOMS.
The symptoms may vary from one woman to another, and from mild to severe. When symptoms do occur, they may include:
➡️ Pain during or after s*x.
➡️ Pain when urinating.
➡️ Unpleasant va**nal discharge.
➡️ Severe abdominal pain.
➡️ Nausea and vomiting.
➡️ Fever.
4. COMPLICATIONS
If left untreated, PID can lead to:
➡️ Ectopic pregnancy.
➡️ Ovarian or tubal abscesses. If left untreated, this may cause serious life-threatening infections.
➡️ Infertility/sterility. This happens when PID damages reproductive organs. If the damage is irreversible, this will lead to sterility.
➡️ Chronic pelvic pain.
