Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Description
|
|
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a broad term used to refer to an infection of the upper reproductive organs, such as the fallopian tubes and ovaries. It is a common and, in some cases, a serious illness. Each year, PID is diagnosed in more than 1 million women, many of them teens.
PID usually can be treated with success, but the infection may cause permanent, long-term problems. Women who know how to protect themselves from PID can decrease their risk of getting it. This pamphlet explains:
- What causes PID
- How PID is diagnosed and treated
- How PID can be prevented
