Call Now: 044-4012-4012Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), or Pelvic infection, is an infection of the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding pelvic tissues. This condition typically occurs when bacteria travel upward from the vagina and cervix into the upper reproductive tract, causing inflammation and infection.
The infection can affect one or multiple organs within the pelvic region and varies in severity from mild to severe. While most cases respond well to antibiotic treatment when caught early, delayed diagnosis or untreated pelvic infection can lead to serious complications including chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.
Recognizing pelvic inflammatory disease symptoms early is key to timely treatment. Symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to severe pain and some women may have none at all, making regular gynecological check-ups essential for early detection.
