CAUSES OF PELVIC
INFLAMMATORY DISEASE
(PID)
Normally, the cervix prevents bacteria that enter the vagina from
spreading to the internal reproductive organs.
PID occurs when the disease causing organisms travel from the
cervix to the upper genital tract.
DIAGNOSIS
Your doctor will examine you for tenderness in your pelvic region and an
abnormal vaginal discharge.
a)
They will usually take sample from inside your vagina and cervix, which
will be sent to a laboratory to identify the type of bacteria causing the
infection.
Your doctor will take samples from your vagina and your cervix with a swab

outside of the tubes and
uterus.
The
laparoscopy is an
instrument somewhat like a
miniature telescope with a
fiber optic system which
brings light into the abdomen.
Laparoscopic instruments.
PROCEDURE
indicator of inflammation
The sedimentation rate blood test measures how quickly
Chlamydia trachomatis
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
TREATMENT
Moa
Absorption
Completely absorbed following oral
administration.
Protein binding
>90%
Route of elimination
They are concentrated by the liver in the bile
and excreted in the urine and feces at high
concentrations in a biologically active form.
Half life
L8-22hrs
Toxicity
Surgery
PREVENTION
PID is completely preventable. The number
one cause of PID is untreated STDs (also
called STIs, sexually transmitted infections).
