Bacteria causes pelvic inflammatory disease, or PID\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection that begins with bacteria that moves from the cervix and vagina into the upper genital tract to the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. This condition affects approximately one million women in the United States every year,\u00b9 usually women who are age 25 or younger, but PID can occur in sexually active women at any age.<\/p>

The most common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease is sexually transmitted infections, or STIs, particularly gonorrhea and chlamydia. Other types of bacteria such as bacterial vaginosis can also cause PID.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Pelvic inflammatory disease can be difficult to diagnose because, often, women either experience no symptoms at all or mild symptoms when the infection is in the early stages. Our\u00a0Grapevine ObGyns<\/a>\u00a0want women to be aware of the signs and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease so they can report them to physicians for further examination and diagnosis.<\/p>
