The most common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is sexually transmitted infections (STIs), particularly chlamydia and gonorrhea. These infections can ascend from the cervix to the uterus, fallopian tubes, and surrounding pelvic structures, leading to inflammation and potential complications. Other factors, such as non-STI infections and certain medical procedures, can also contribute to the development of PID. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent long-term reproductive health issues.


Can herpes cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?

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.
