Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) | Microbiology | by Imran Yaseen

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a serious infection of a woman's reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It is usually caused by bacteria, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, that spreads from the vagina to the upper reproductive tract. PID can cause severe pain and discomfort, and if left untreated, can lead to infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and ectopic pregnancy. Risk factors for PID include unprotected sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, and a history of STIs. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection, as well as pain relief and other measures to manage symptoms.
