Pelvic Inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes or any of the other reproductive organs. Generally characterized by recurrent lower abdominal pain.

Pyorrhea is another name for periodontitis. It is an inflammatory disease of the gums. If this disease is left untreated, the person will loose their teeth and they will also have significant bone loss.

Gonorrhea is the sexually transmitted disease that causes painful urination. It is treatable with modern antibiotics but left untreated can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and can even affect joints and heart valves.
Pelvic inflammatory disease, commonly called PID, is an infection of the female reproductive organs. PID is one of the most serious complications of a sexually transmitted disease in women: It can lead to irreversible damage to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other parts of the female reproductive system, and is the primary preventable cause of infertility in women.
It is rare, but possible, to have Pelvic Inflammatory Disease without having an STD. Normally, the cervix prevents bacteria that enter the vagina from spreading to the internal reproductive organs. If the cervix is exposed to a sexually transmitted disease -- such as gonorrhea and/orchlamydia -- the cervix itself becomes infected and less able to prevent the spread of organisms to the internal organs. PID occurs when the disease-causing organisms travel from the cervix to the upper genital tract. Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause about 90% of all cases of PID. Other causes include abortion, childbirth, and pelvic procedures. It is rare, but you can get PID without having an STD. No one is sure why, but normal bacteria found in the vagina and on the cervix can sometimes cause PID.

An untreated UTI can cause a more severe bladder infection, which takes longer to fully treat, or even a kidney infection, which can become very serious. For females in particular, a UTI can also cause reproductive issues such as Pelvic Inflammatory Disease/Infection. For men, sexual function can be inhibited, with decreased fertility.
