Pid is an infection that passes from the vagina through the neck of the womb, through the womb and up to the fallopion tubes. It can also get to the overies if its left long enough.

Bacteria and micro- organisms can find their way through the vagina, cervix and

reproductive organs. A bacterial infection can cause inflammation in these organs and their surroundings.This is most common in the fallopeon tubes.

Pid causes tenderness in both sides of the lower abdomen. It can also cause fever and general discomfort. Finally this infection can be leading to heavy painful or non existant periods and also sometimes vaginal discharge.

In some women , pid may of resulted from a childbirth or sometimes if you have sexual intercourse with a new partner. But most often no specific reason for this disease can be given .

Your doctor will at first do blood tests and a pelvic examination to feel for a little lump that is often in the lower abdomen.But your doctor wont prescribe you anti-biotics for this disease until they know for sure you have it. This is usually is fount out follwing laproscopy.

Even though pid is a relitively harmless condition if not treated quickly and effectivly , it can cause permenant damage to the fallopeon tubes. This makes it very difficult for the sperm to pass through to the egg and highly increases the risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancys
