What is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is an infection of a woman’s reproductive organs, typically affecting the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It occurs when bacteria from the vagina or cervix move upward into the reproductive tract. If untreated, PID can lead to chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy, or infertility. Early detection and prompt medical treatment can reduce complications and preserve reproductive health. Regular check-ups and practicing safe sex can help prevent this condition.
