Normally, the cervix prevents bacteria that enter the vagina from spreading to the internal reproductive organs. If the cervix is exposed to a sexually transmitted disease -- such as gonorrhea and/or chlamydia -- the cervix itself becomes infected and less able to prevent the spread of organisms to the internal organs. PID occurs when the disease-causing organisms travel from the cervix to the upper genital tract. Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause about 90% of all cases of PID.
However, you can also get PID without having an STI. Normal bacteria found in the vagina and on the cervix can sometimes cause PID. Other causes include abortion, childbirth, and pelvic procedures.
Recurrent episodes of PID can result in scarring of the fallopian tubes, which can lead to infertility, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, or chronic pelvic pain. Infertility occurs in about one in eight women who have PID. Therefore, if you are diagnosed with PID, timely treatment is necessary.
Treatment depends on the disease severity, your previous treatment and many other factors. For example, for acute PID, antibiotics are feasible, while for chronic type, herbal medicines like fuyan pill is more suitable. So please provide more information about yourself.
