Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is an infection of a woman's reproductive organs, such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It can cause lower abdominal and back pain, fever, atypical vaginal discharge, and irregular menstrual bleeding. Prompt treatment with antibiotics is crucial to prevent complications like infertility or chronic pelvic pain. PID is often caused by sexually transmitted infections and can lead to problems getting pregnant, difficulties during pregnancy, and long-term pelvic pain.
