Pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic inflammatory disease (or disorder) (PID) is a generic term for inflamattion  of thes, and/or ovaries as it progresses to scar formation with adhesion to nearby tissues and organs. This may lead to infections. PID is a vague term and can refer to viral, fungal, parasitic, though most often bacterial infections.

Diagnosis :Symptoms in PID range from subclinical (asymptomatic) to severe. If there are symptoms then  l motion tenderness, lower, new or different discharge, , or irregular  bleeding may be noted. 

Prognosis :Although the PID infection itself may be cured, effects of the infection may be permanent. This makes early identification by someone who can prescribe appropriate curative treatment very important in the prevention of damage to the reproduction system
