Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

Early Detection & Expert Care for a Healthy Future

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive organs, affecting the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. If left untreated, it can lead to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and other complications. At Manasa Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and treating PID with advanced medical care and personalized treatment plans to safeguard your reproductive health.

What Causes PID?

PID is usually caused by bacteria that enter the reproductive tract, often due to:

• Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) – Chlamydia and gonorrhea are common causes
• Untreated Vaginal Infections – Bacterial vaginosis or other infections may spread
• Childbirth or Abortion – Bacteria can enter the uterus during these processes
• Unhygienic Medical Procedures – Improperly performed pelvic exams or IUD insertions
• Multiple Sexual Partners – Increases the risk of bacterial infections

Symptoms of PID

Symptoms may vary from mild to severe and include:

• Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
• Unusual vaginal discharge with a foul smell
• Pain or bleeding during intercourse
• Painful urination or increased frequency
• Fever, chills, and fatigue
• Irregular menstrual bleeding

If you experience any of these symptoms, early diagnosis is crucial to prevent long-term complications.

How Is PID Diagnosed?

At Manasa Hospital, we use advanced diagnostic tools to detect PID, including:

• Pelvic Examination – Checking for signs of infection and tenderness
• Ultrasound Scans – To identify inflammation or abscess formation
• Laboratory Tests – Blood tests and vaginal swabs to detect bacteria
• Laparoscopy (In Severe Cases) – A minimally invasive procedure to examine pelvic organs

Effective Treatment for PID

Treatment depends on the severity of the infection and may include:

• Antibiotic Therapy – To eliminate the infection and prevent complications
• Pain Management – Medications to relieve pelvic discomfort
• Hospitalization (For Severe Cases) – If an abscess forms or oral treatment is ineffective
• Surgical Intervention (Rare Cases) – To remove infected tissue if needed

Preventing PID & Protecting Your Health

You can reduce the risk of PID by:

• Practicing safe sex and using protection
• Getting regular gynecological check-ups
• Seeking immediate treatment for vaginal infections
• Maintaining good intimate hygiene
