WHAT IS PID?
For more information 0976840276
Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of a womanโs reproductive organs. It is a complication often caused by some STDs, like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Other infections that are not s*xually transmitted can also cause PID.
CAUSES
Many types of bacteria can cause PID, but gonorrhea or chlamydia infections are the most common. These bacteria are usually acquired during unprotected s*x.
Less commonly, bacteria can enter your reproductive tract anytime the normal barrier created by the cervix is disturbed. This can happen during menstruation and after childbirth, miscarriage or abortion. Rarely, bacteria can also enter the reproductive tract during the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) โ a form of long-term birth control โ or any medical procedure that involves inserting instruments into the uterus.
SYMPTOMS
The signs and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease might be mild and difficult to recognize. Some women don't have any signs or symptoms. When signs and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are present, they most often include:
๐งPain โ ranging from mild to severe โ in your lower abdomen and pelvis
๐งUnusual or heavy va**nal discharge that may have an unpleasant odor
๐งUnusual bleeding from the va**na, especially during or after s*x, or between periods
๐งPain during s*x
Fever, sometimes with chills
๐งPainful, frequent or difficult urination
