Our Clinic aims to sensitize individuals about critical health issues. One of these essential concerns is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), a bacterial infection of the womb, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Early diagnosis and treatment are required to avoid complications.
PID often presents with subtle or mild symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose in its early stages. Common symptoms include:

Most of the PID cases are due to bacterial infections that ascend the vagina or cervix into the upper reproductive organs. The most common causes of the disease are chlamydia and gonorrhea; it may also result from other types of bacteria, including the bacteria that are usually present in the vagina. In some cases, it is hard to establish the exact cause of the disease.
If you experience any of the symptoms of PID or suspect a problem with your reproductive health, we recommend that you visit a doctor as soon as possible. You can consult with your GP or visit your nearby sexual health clinic. Early diagnosis and treatment will help prevent complications and improve outcomes.
