Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – Symptoms, Risks & Advanced Treatment in Thane
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is a common yet often ignored infection affecting the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It usually occurs when bacteria from the vagina or cervix travel upward into the pelvic organs, causing inflammation, swelling, and sometimes severe pelvic pain.
If not treated early, PID can lead to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and long-term complications, making timely diagnosis crucial.
🩺 What Causes PID?
PID usually develops due to:
1. Untreated Vaginal or Cervical Infection
- Bacterial vaginosis
- Sexually transmitted infections (common: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea)
- Mixed bacterial infections
2. Post-Procedural Infection
- After abortion
- Post-delivery infection
- After IUD insertion (rare but possible)
3. Spread From Nearby Organs
- Appendicitis
- Peritonitis
- Pelvic abscess
4. Poor Hygiene or Immunity Issues
- Compromised immunity
- Recurrent vaginal infections
⚠️ Symptoms of PID
Many women ignore early signs, thinking it’s just “normal pain.”
But PID symptoms should never be ignored.
- Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
- Fever or chills
- Pain during intercourse
- Vaginal discharge (often yellow/green or foul-smelling)
- Irregular periods
- Pain during urination
- Lower back pain
- Fatigue or weakness
If these symptoms last more than 2–3 days, you must be evaluated immediately.
🩻 How Is PID Diagnosed?
At the clinic, your doctor may recommend:
✔ Physical Examination
To check tenderness, swelling, and pelvic inflammation.
✔ Blood Tests
- CBC
- CRP/ESR
- Infection markers
✔ Vaginal Swab Tests
To detect bacteria or STIs.
✔ Ultrasound Pelvis
Helps detect fluid collections, abscesses, or inflammation.
✔ CT Scan / MRI (if required)
Used in severe or complicated cases.
💊 Treatment for PID
Treatment is usually very effective when started early.
1. Antibiotics
A combination of antibiotics is given for:
- Infection control
- Inflammation reduction
- Preventing spread to fallopian tubes
2. Pain Relief Medicines
To reduce abdominal pain and pelvic cramps.
3. Treatment of Partner (If Required)
To prevent reinfection.
4. Avoid Intercourse Until Complete Cure
Important to avoid worsening infection.
5. Hospital Admission
Required if:
- Severe pain
- High fever
- Pelvic abscess
- Infection spreading to peritoneum
6. Surgery (Rare but Needed Sometimes)
- To drain abscess
- To remove infected tissue
- To prevent complications
