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.

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/or chlamydia -- 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.

The symptoms of PID can vary, but may include the following:

Dull pain or tenderness in the stomach or lower abdominal area, or pain in the right upper

abdomen

Abnormal vaginal discharge that is yellow or green in color or that has an unusual odor

Painful urination

Chills or high fever

Nausea and vomiting

Pain during sex

If the findings of your exam or tests suggest PID, treatment is started immediately.

Antibiotics.

Surgery.

The evidence-based treatment for PID is a combination of two antibiotics. Depending on the clinicial situation, a combination of ceftriaxone and doxycycline may be used, and metronidazole may also be added.
