Severe cases can result in sterility
The statement is partially true. Pelvic inflammatory disease can cause scarring in the female reproductive tract that can block the passage of gametes or zygotes. It does not affect males.
no, Pelvic inflammatory disease in not life threatening.
Pelvic inflammatory disease does not cause cancer. Having multiple sex partners is a risk for both cervical cancer and pelvic inflammatory disease, but even those who aren't sexually active can get PID.
Both gonorrhea and chlamydia may cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Many cases occur without chlamydia or gonorrhea, though.
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can lead to sterility and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) if left untreated. It often presents with mild or no symptoms, which can result in delayed diagnosis and treatment. In women, untreated chlamydia can cause scarring of the fallopian tubes, leading to infertility, while PID can result in serious reproductive health complications. Regular testing and prompt treatment are essential to prevent these serious outcomes.
Usually Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is usually caused by Sexually Transmitted Infections most commonly the Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.

Yes it can. That is one of the symptoms!
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Chlamydia may cause fatigue, particularly if the infection is causing pelvic inflammatory disease or other complications.
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.
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.
