Is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) a cause of fetal demise?

Patient's question:

Does pelvic inflammatory disease cause miscarriage?
Does pelvic inflammatory disease cause female miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Some uterine diseases, such as uterine fibroids and septate uterus, are very likely to be the "culprits" causing fetal demise. Since the fetus grows inside the uterus, if the environment where the embryo is located is not good—that is, if there are problems with this "house" called the uterus—then it is difficult for the fetus to grow well, and it may even face the threat of embryonic arrest or spontaneous abortion. It is clear that the uterus, located within the pelvic cavity, will inevitably be affected by pelvic inflammation, which in turn impacts the development and growth of the fetus.
