Has anyone ever been diagnosed with or been suspected to have had pelvic inflammatory disease ?
Looking into it the more I do the more I think I may have it, have all the symptoms, have had since having ny daughter 3 years ago but feel like they’ve been worse since EP in November ! And now think if I did have that’s what could’ve caused my EP!
Any advice is greatly appreciated xx
Dear Emma,
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive system which includes the womb, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Some women have common symptoms of discomfort or unusual vaginal so discharge, some women have no symptoms at all.
In the UK you can test for some infections via your GP, or a wider range of tests can be completed via a sexual health clinic and in the UK, you can look up where your nearest sexual health clinic is and usually self refer for testing.
I have added some details from the NHS sites here.
