What is the difference between pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, when inflammation occurs in the pelvic reproductive organs and their surrounding connective tissues, as well as the pelvic peritoneum, it is called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). In the female internal reproductive organs, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are referred to as uterine appendages. Adnexitis refers to the inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.
