Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is an infection that affects the upper reproductive system in women. The uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are all part of the reproductive system. It often happens when sexually transmitted bacteria, especially those that haven't been treated, travel up from the lower genital tract. PID, or pelvic inflammatory disease, can also happen when you have a baby, have a miscarriage, have an abortion, or have surgery on your reproductive system.

Symptoms can be minor to severe and include pain in the lower abdomen, odd vaginal discharge, fever, painful intercourse, irregular monthly bleeding, and a burning feeling when you pee. PID may go unnoticed, increasing the risk of late diagnosis and complications.

If PID isn't treated, it can cause serious difficulties with reproduction, such as infertility, persistent pelvic pain, and ectopic pregnancy. This occurs because the fallopian tubes get scarred and obstructed. Pelvic exams, imaging, and blood testing are all important for getting the best care.

Most of the time, the treatment comprises broad-spectrum drugs that destroy the disease, such as antibiotics for bacterial infections or antiviral medications for viral infections. You might need to go to the hospital or have surgery if things are grave. Getting tested for STIs regularly, practising safe sex, and getting treated for any genital infections straight away are all strategies to avoid having STIs.
