Patient's question:
Does pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) spread to the husband?Women with pelvic inflammatory disease may transmit it to their sexual partners.
Doctor's answer:
Women suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are generally not contagious. This is because PID is not transmitted through sexual activity like vaginitis or sexually transmitted diseases. Additionally, PID is not a contagious female inflammation and cannot spread to family members or partners through direct or indirect contact. Please reassure female patients that there is no need to worry excessively about this.
