Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of a woman’s reproductive organs.
Pelvic inflammatory disease is usually caused by some sexually transmitted diseases, such as chlamydia infection and gonorrhea. Other infections that are not sexually transmitted can also cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Having unprotected sex with someone who has an STI can cause pelvic inflammatory disease. The time to cure pelvic inflammatory disease takes approximately 2 weeks by taking antibiotics.
Pelvic inflammatory disease is detected through a blood and urine test. These tests may be used to detect pregnancy, human immunodeficiency virus, or other sexually transmitted infections, or to measure white blood cell counts or other markers of infection or inflammation.
Inflammation of the ovaries may be related to pelvic infections or endometriosis. Pelvic infection is an infection of the female reproductive organs. It usually occurs when sexually transmitted bacteria spread from the vagina to the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. When bacteria move from your vagina and cervix to other parts of your body. It can cause chronic pain and other serious health problems, such as infertility.
Untreated pelvic inflammatory disease can cause pockets of infected fluid (abscesses) and scar tissue to form in the reproductive system. These can cause permanent damage to the reproductive organs. Complications of this damage may include: Ectopic pregnancy.
