Patient's question:
Can women with pelvic inflammatory disease have sex? Can women with pelvic inflammatory disease have sex.Doctor's answer:
Women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) have inflammation that is classified as either acute or chronic. During an acute inflammation episode, sexual activity is not advisable because sexual climax can cause pelvic congestion in the woman. This can directly or indirectly lead to impacts on inflamed tissues, resulting in varying degrees of dyspareunia (pain during intercourse) for the patient. It may even cause the woman to develop aversion or fear of sexual activity due to this.
