Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive organs, typically caused by sexually transmitted bacteria like chlamydia or gonorrhea. It affects the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, leading to symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, abnormal vaginal discharge, and painful intercourse. If left untreated, PID can cause serious complications, including chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy.
Treatment usually involves antibiotics to clear the infection, and in severe cases, hospitalization or surgery may be necessary. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term health issues.
