is pelvic inflamatory disease sexually transmitted?

Question

the excuse of deushing while on the shot caused it lol sadly i dont know if that is trueHELP

Answer 1

Sexually active women in their childbearing years are most at risk, and those under age 25 are more likely to develop PID than those older than 25. This is because the cervix of teenage girls and young women is not fully matured, increasing their susceptibilty to the STDs that are linked to PID.

The more sex partners a woman has, the greater her risk of developing PID. Also, a woman whose partner has more than one sex partner is at greater risk of developing PID, because of the potential for more exposure to infectious agents.

Women who douche may have a higher risk of developing PID compared with women who do not douche. Research has shown that douching changes the vaginal flora (organisms that live in the vagina) in harmful ways, and can force bacteria into the upper reproductive organs from the vagina.

Women who have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted may have a slightly increased risk of PID near the time of insertion compared with women using other contraceptives or no contraceptive at all. However, this risk is greatly reduced if a woman is tested and, if necessary, treated for STDs before an IUD is inserted.

Answer 2

Believe her. PID is just that. PELVIC INFLAMATORY DISEASE. There are a ton of ways to get it one just happens to be associated with different STD's. It is NOT an STD. I was diagnosed at 13 with it and had NEVER been sexually active at that time. An idiot LPN said that she knew I was lying about being a virgin and confronted me in my room about it while I was in the hospital getting iv antibiotics. She got everyone in my family upset. Unfortunately she was ignorant on the subject.

Answer 3

No, it is NOT sexually transmitted. Virgins get it.

Women can get PID from douching.
Believe her.

Answer 4

sure why not? after all, my ex-g/f claimed she got chlamydia from just trying on underwear at the store... but really though, who tries on underwear before they buy it???
