PID is an infection that results when cervical microorganisms travel upward to the endometrium, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic structures. This infection can produce one or more of the fol-lowing inflammatory conditions: endometritis, salpingitis (inflammation of the salpinges), loca-lized or generalized peritonitis, or abscesses involving the fallopian tubes or ovaries. Patients with PID often have intermittent abdominal pain and tenderness, vaginal discharge, dysuria, and possibly systemic symptoms such as fever, weight loss, and headache. Serious complications, such as permanent scarring of the fallopian tubes and infertility, can arise if PID is left untreated.
