Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is a serious medical
condition and should not be taken lightly because
it may result to some complications that could
lead to long-term chronic pelvic pain, etopic
pregnancy (pregnancy that is outside the womb),
infertility (inability to conceive) and some other
life threatening health conditions when treated
casually.

So here are some facts about Pelvic Inflammatory
Disease (PID) every woman should acquaint
herself with in order to significantly reduce her
chances of being trapped by this ugly disease.

17 Key Facts Worth Knowing About Pelvic
Inflammatory Disease (PID):

1. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is an infection
that affects female reproductive organs which is
caused by bacteria that moved from vagina or
cervix upward into the upper genital tract (as in
--- the fallopian tubes, uterus, ovaries,...)

2. The symptoms of PID may include the following:
pain around the pelvis or lower abdomen (your
tummy); experiencing pain during urination;
unusual or abnormal vagina discharge (that is
either yellow or green in colour with unpleasant
odour); pain and/or bleeding during or after
intercourse; frequent urination ; irregular
menstruation...

3. Most women may not know they have PID
because it's sometimes asymptomatic- not
exhibiting symptoms.

4. Sexually active young female folks between the
ages of 15 to 24 are more likely to have PID than
older women.

5. The number one cause of Pelvic Inflammatory
Disease is untreated Sexually Transmitted
Diseases(STDs) such as Gonorrhea and
Chlamydia.

6. Women with more than one sexual partners are
at higher risk of catching STDs and PID.

7. Some other bacteria that are not linked to STDs
can cause PID--- These bacteria may travel from
a woman's honeypot into her upper reproductive
organs after childbirth, abortion, miscarriage,...

8. Early and prompt treatment of STDs can help
prevent PID.

9. Most etopic pregnancies are linked to Pelvic
Inflammatory Disease.
