Every year, more than 100,000 women become infertile and more than a hundred women die from PID or its complications.
COMPLICATIONS
Prompt and appropriate treatment can help prevent complications of PID. Without treatment, PID can cause permanent damage to the female reproductive organs. Infection-causing bacteria can silently invade the fallopian tubes causing normal tissue to turn into scar tissue. This scar tissue blocks or interrupts the normal movement of eggs into the uterus. If your fallopian tubes are totally blocked by scar tissue, sperm cannot fertilize an egg and you become infertile. Infertility also can occur if the fallopian tubes are partially blocked or even slightly damaged. About one in eight women with PID becomes infertile.
In addition, a partially blocked or slightly damaged fallopian tube may cause a fertilized egg to remain in the fallopian tube. If this fertilized egg begins to grow in the tube as if it were in the uterus, it is called an ectopic or tubal pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy can rupture the fallopian tube causing severe pain, internal bleeding, and even death.
Scarring in the fallopian tubes and other pelvic organs can also cause chronic pelvic pain (pain lasting for months or even years). You are more likely to suffer infertility, ectopic pregnancy, or chronic pelvic pain if you have repeated episodes of PID.

The checklist will probable learn a urine pattern to verify if there's a urinary tract an infection. UTIs would reason the indicators you have, and UTIs are much extra undemanding than PID for person who isn't sexually lively. If a UTI is got here across, its unlikely the checklist would even evaluate PID. The checklist will probable prescribe an antibiotic and the themes could disappear. If the checklist could suspect PID, they might carry out a pelvic examination and perchance get fluid samples with a cotton swab to seek for indications of an infection. If no an infection is got here across no longer something further would be completed. If an infection is got here across, they might carry out further assessments including ultrasound or tissue biopsy, and likewise prescribe an antibiotic.

cancer, other std's easily, or worst off death do you know that pid is a serious thing and it is also known as a silient killer because some people don't know they have it and it goes untreated resulting in death so pick up any tampon box and read the inside label . not saying that is the only thing it comes from but my point is if it is a warning inside a box and you or whomever knows they have it you are basically committing suicide to go with out it being treated that is just so insane
Meaning you keep doing the same thing hoping to get different results that is what insane means

Why would she not take the medicine? PID can lead to sterility and cervical cancer.
