Symptoms & Warning Signs of PID
PID can present with subtle symptoms or acute pelvic pain:
- Lower abdominal or pelvic pain (dull or severe aching sensation)
- Abnormal, foul-smelling vaginal discharge with unusual color
- Pain during or after sexual intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Intermenstrual spotting or bleeding between periods
- Fever, chills, and painful or frequent urination
Risks & Importance of Early Treatment
Recurrent or delayed treatment of PID leads to hydrosalpinx (fluid collection in fallopian tubes), pelvic adhesions, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and tubal factor subfertility. Early antibiotic intervention prevents tubal damage.
