Patient's question:
In the hospital, after a thorough examination, it was discovered that I had pelvic inflammatory disease. I had been working and had not had children. Now that I want to have children, I have contracted this disease.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is divided into acute and chronic forms. The former has an abrupt onset and usually has clear causes. If treated promptly, thoroughly, and effectively, it is often curable. When acute inflammation is not completely treated, it can transform into chronic PID. However, it is more often due to a slow onset and mild symptoms that go unnoticed, leading to delayed treatment and the development of chronic PID. This type of pelvic inflammatory disease often causes infertility in women. Chronic PID often manifests as bilateral tubal inflammation. Over time, the openings of the fallopian tubes, especially the part that receives the egg, may partially or fully close. It can also cause adhesions in the inner lining of the fallopian tubes due to inflammation, narrowing or blocking the lumen.
