Question:

I have been told I hav pelvic inflammitry disesase.....will it ever go away or will I be left on tablets 4ever

I was rushed into hospital with a appendicitus 4 weeks ago.....the post opp pain has not dissappeared. Had to go to hospital to have swabs taken which all came back clear. I had an appointment with my gp this morning to be told she wasnt surprised I wasnt feeling any better..this is when I found out that when the surgeons cut me open they found an inflammed pelvis apparently full of puss...nice. Why wait till this long to tell me. The disease part of my illness makes me think that it will never go away. I had iregular periods for the last year...2 weeks apart lasting 2 weeks..is there anything I can do to make it better..will it ever go....do you need to ask for a hysterectomy or will they aventually offer to take the rotten bits out ?


Answers:

This should clear up with antibiotics....Pelvic inflammatory disease (or disorder) (PID) is a generic term for infection of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as it progresses to scar formation with adhesions to nearby tissues and organs. This may lead to tissue necrosis with/or without abscess formation. Pus can be released into the peritoneum. Two thirds of patients with laparoscopic evidence of previous PID were not aware they had had PID (Cecil's 5th ed). PID is often associated with sexually transmitted diseases, as it is a common result of such infections. PID is a vague term and can refer to viral, fungal, parasitic, though most often bacterial infections. PID should be classified by affected organs, the stage of the infection, and the organism(s) causing it. Although a sexually transmitted infection is often the cause, other routes are possible, including lymphatic, postpartum, postabortal (either miscarriage or abortion) or Intrauterine device (IUD) related, and hematogenous spread.
