A brief introduction about PID

PID also known as pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of the female reproductive organs. This disease is one of the most serious complications of STDs in women, because irreversible damage to uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes or other parts of the female reproductive system can be produced. This disease also is the main reason of infertility.


Causes of PID

Generally speaking, the cervix prevents bacteria that enter the vagina from spreading to the internal reproductive organs. While, if the cervix is exposed to a STDs such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, it will become infected and less able to prevent the spread of organisms. So the main cause of this disease is bacterial infection. Other causes include abortion, childbirth, and pelvic procedures.

The complications of PID
This disease can result in scarring of the fallopian tubes, which can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy or chronic pelvic pain. Infertility occurs in about one in eight women who have PID. The treatment of PID
Medication is the traditional treatment of PID. Commonly, doctors will suggest women to take antibiotic to cure this disease, because antibiotic can kill bacteria with a short time. While if the antibiotic is not effective, you may need to receive medication intravenously. Although the curative effect of antibiotic is excellent, antibiotic cannot prevent the recurrence. The second treating method is surgery. This kind of treating method used when PID causes an abscess or antibiotic has no effect.
Surgery is often needed to remove the abscesses to prevent them from rupturing and causing widespread infection throughout the pelvis and abdomen. Depending on the conditions, this may be done with a laparoscope or with a procedure in which the doctor opens the abdomen to view the internal organs. If the abscesses have formed on the uterus or ovaries, the doctor may recommend hysterectomy or oophorectomy.
