33) what is the infection that progresses from the vagina and cervix to infect cacity and fallopian tubes?

Question

a. urinary tract infection
b. ascending pelvic inflammation
c. endometriosis
d. pelvic inflammatory

Answer 1

Now this could actually be either B or D but the answer you are seeking is D, pelvic inflammatory disease since it is a more common and well known term. Both involve the upward spread of infection.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is actually an ascending pelvic infection of the endometrium (the membrane that lines the uterus) and the fallopian tubes. In fact, PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) is used to cover an entire group of infections such as endometritis, cervicitis, pelvic peritonitis, etc.
