To my knowledge yes it can. I am 40 now but when I was 17 I got it from an std I caught off my boyfriend at the time. I ended up in the hospital very sick with severe symptoms, they told me that once you get it, it can come back. I have been prone to infections ever since, I am not sure if there is any correlation between the two. When I was in my early twenty's I was treated for it again, not due to an std and my symptoms were not as bad as the first time. Actually if your inflammation didn't get cleared with antibitotics, you can try herbal medicine like Fuyan Pill. Herbs are much gentler to the body and safer than antibitotics. In other words, herbs treat infection without damaging the patient's underlying constitution.

A chlamydia test can't diagnose PID. Diagnosis of PID is difficult, as the bacteria can be infecting the upper reproductive tract without symptoms. A physical exam is the way to check for PID.

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.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to infection and inflammation of the upper genital tract in women. It can affect the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and organs nearyby. The scarring that results on these organs can lead to infertility, tubal pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, abscesses (sores containing pus), and other serious problems. Treatment may be completed in the hospital or at home with a prolonged course of antibiotics and rest. You may have heard of pelvic inflammatory disease, or PID, but many people are not sure what it is. PID is a serious infection that harms a woman's reproductive organs. It develops when an infection spreads up from the vagina and cervix into the fallopian tubes, uterus, and ovaries. It is usually caused by untreated chlamydia or gonorrhea. But it may be caused by other infections.

A woman can get PID if bacteria (germs) move up from her vagina and infect her pelvic organs. Many different types of bacteria can cause PID. But, most cases of PID are caused by bacteria that cause 2 common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) - gonorrhea (gah-nuh-REE-uh) and chlamydia (kluh-MI-dee-uh). It can take from a few days to a few months for an infection to travel up from the vagina to the pelvic organs.

You can get PID without having an STI. Normal bacteria found in the vagina and on the cervix can sometimes cause PID. No one is sure why this happens.

No, you have it backwards. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a risk factor for ectopic pregnancy, and prior PID is a risk factor for current PID.

Diagnosis of PID may also be done using a laparoscope, but laparoscopy is expensive, and it is an invasive procedure that carries some risk for the patient.

Tampons are not associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, and there is no increased risk from using tampons if you have pelvic inflammatory disease.

The IUD itself does not increase the risk of PID. If a woman has chlamydia or gonorrhea at the time of insertion, the risk of PID is increased.

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.

Both gonorrhea and chlamydia may cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Many cases occur without chlamydia or gonorrhea, though.
