Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is a bacterial infection that is most common in women aged 15\u201325. It affects the female reproductive system.
The two common infections that cause PID are Gonorrhea and Chlamydia.
Over 1 million American women have PID annually, and 100,000 become infertile due to it.
Most people get PID via unprotected sex because men can be potential carriers of this infection.
Some common symptoms include pain in the pelvis, vaginal discharge, etc.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease<\/a> (PID) is an infection that affects one or more higher reproductive organs, such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
Symptoms of PID include stomach pain, lower abdominal pain, and vaginal discharge<\/a>.
Untreated PID symptoms can cause scar tissue and pockets of infected fluid (abscesses) to form in the reproductive tract, causing permanent damage.
As a result, you might have trouble getting pregnant or develop chronic pelvic pain.<\/p>\n\n\n
