Symptoms Of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is an infection of the upper tract of the female reproductive system. Most often this infection is caused by a sexually transmitted disease that hasnít been effectively treated. PID is one of the leading causes of preventable infertility in the U.S. affecting approximately 1 million women each year.
There are at least 15 different symptoms of PID that occur in combination or together to form the clinical picture of this disease. Most women report that they had no idea that they had the initial sexually transmitted disease that caused the infection and then also had little to no early symptoms of the PID. For this reason an annual examination with an obstetrician is extremely important for those young women who are sexually active.
The risk of PID increases also for those women who are sexually active with more than one partner or who engage in other risk taking behaviors such as drinking alcohol or taking recreational drugs.
Symptoms of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease also include lower abdominal pain both during and outside of the womanís menstrual period. However, menstrual periods also become more painful with increased amount of cramping and pain during the whole period. In some women these symptoms are mild, moderate or severe and can vary from month to month.
