1,2,3
Rationale 1: Women sometimes become infertile because of scarring in the fallopian tubes as a result of the inflammation of PID.
Rationale 2: Antibiotic therapy should always be completed when a patient is diagnosed with any infection.
Rationale 3: The tubal scarring that occurs from tubal inflammation during PID can prevent a fertilized ovum from passing through the tube into the uterus, causing an ectopic or tubal pregnancy.
Rationale 4: PID is caused by bacteria, most commonly Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Rationale 5: An intrauterine device (IUD) in place increases the risk of developing PID; a patient who has a history of PID is not a good candidate for an IUD.
