Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and Infertility
Definition: Ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, or longstanding infection from an STD or other infections can cause inflammation which scars reproductive organs and inhibits fertility.
Symptoms: many times a woman does not know she has PID. Sometimes the following may occur; foul smelling vaginal discharge, fever, chills, and nausea, pain in the lower abdomen, bleeding between periods, painful intercourse, need to pass urine frequently, and painful urination.
Causes: chlamydia, gonorrhea, or other STD's that have spread from the vagina to other reproductive organs. Multiple sexual partners are the main causitive factor.
Diagnosis: a swab is taken and analysed for infection.
Treatment: antibiotics to combat infection, and surgery to remove scarring.
