More than a million women every year become a victim of Pelvic Inflammatory disease, yet it is one of the diseases less known to women. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is STI which causes infection to the uterus/fallopian tubes/ ovaries.
What is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?
Your vagina typically has particular bacterias which keep the vagina healthy. However, certain harmful bacterias could enter your cervix through the vagina and get into other parts of the body. This results in serious health concerns, primarily chronic pain & difficulties in conceiving. STIs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea are the primary reason one can get affected by Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. If you wish to cure such infections, you could treat it with the help of antibiotics. That being said, many women fail to understand the symptoms of such STI problems and hence do not treat the problem either. Though the disease could have a serious impact on the body, PID or even chlamydia and gonorrhea are not a popular term in women for their reproductive health. Hence, it is important that women get tested for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
