Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It is typically caused by sexually transmitted bacteria such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, but other bacteria can also be involved. PID can lead to symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, painful urination, and fever. If left untreated, PID can cause serious complications, including infertility, ectopic pregnancy, where the fertilized egg attaches outside the uterus, and chronic pelvic pain. Treatment usually involves antibiotics to clear the infection, but in severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary. Early detection and treatment are important to prevent long-term complications.
