# Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive organs. It most often occurs when s*xually transmitted bacteria spread from your va**na to your uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries.
The signs and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease can be subtle or mild. Some women don't experience any signs or symptoms. As a result, you might not realize you have it until you have trouble getting pregnant or you develop chronic pelvic pain.
The signs and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease might be mild and difficult to recognize. Some women don't have any signs or symptoms. When signs and symptoms of PID are present, they most often include
✓Pain — ranging from mild to severe — in your lower abdomen and pelvis
✓Unusual or heavy va**nal discharge that may have an unpleasant odor
✓Unusual bleeding from the va**na, especially during or after s*x, or between periods
✓Pain during s*x
✓Fever, sometimes with chills
✓Painful, frequent or difficult urination
When to see a doctor for treatment
See your health care provider or seek urgent medical care if you experience
•Severe pain low in your abdomen
•Nausea and vomiting, with an inability to keep anything down
•Fever, with a temperature higher than 101 F (38.3 C)
•Foul va**nal discharge
If you have signs and symptoms of PID that aren't severe, still see your provider as soon as possible. Vaginal discharge with an odor, painful urination or bleeding between periods can also be symptoms of a s*xually transmitted infection (STI). If these signs and symptoms occur, stop having s*x and see your provider soon. Prompt treatment of an STI can help prevent PID.
Many types of bacteria can cause PID, but gonorrhea or chlamydia infections are the most common. These bacteria are usually acquired during unprotected s*x.
Less commonly, bacteria can enter your reproductive tract anytime the normal barrier created by the cervix is disturbed. Call +260977235163 /
