Article Excerpts about Pelvic inflammatory disease
Pelvic
inflammatory disease (PID) is a general term that refers to infection of
the fallopian tubes (tubes that carry eggs from the ovary to the womb) and
of other internal reproductive organs in women. It is a common and serious
complication of some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Inside the
lower abdominal cavity, PID can damage the fallopian tubes and tissues in
and near the uterus and ovaries. Untreated PID can lead to serious
consequences including infertility, ectopic pregnancy, abscess formation,
and chronic pelvic pain. (Source: excerpt from PID: DSTD)
Aside from AIDS, the most common and serious complication of
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among women is pelvic
inflammatory disease (PID), an infection of the upper genital tract.
PID can affect the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other
related structures. Untreated, PID causes scarring and can lead to
infertility, tubal pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, and other serious
consequences. (Source: excerpt from Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID)

Definitions of Pelvic inflammatory disease:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an acute or chronic inflammation in the pelvic cavity. It is most commonly caused by sexually transmitted diseases, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, that have ascended into the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries as a result of intercourse or childbirth, or of surgical procedures, including insertion of IUDs or abortion. PID may be either symptomatic or asymptomatic. It may cause infertility and it may raise the risk of ectopic pregnancy. PID is a disease associated with HIV infection.
