Pelvic inflammatory disease is a bacterial infection of the uterine lining. It is not really possible to influence the development of pelvic inflammatory disease.
Pelvic inflammatory disease has many possible causes:
Pelvic inflammatory disease always requires medical attention. If pelvic inflammatory disease is left untreated, it can spread to the pelvic area and cause a serious infection.
If you have symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease, you can quickly get an appointment with one of our experienced gynaecologists. You can view the expertise of our gynaecologists in the specialist descriptions section and book an appointment in our online appointment booking system.
Pelvic inflammatory disease is diagnosed at a gynaecologist’s appointment based on symptoms and a gynaecological examination. If you are nervous about the gynaecological examination, mention it to your gynaecologist. We will do our best to make the examination as pleasant as possible.
The gynaecologist performs an internal examination and palpates the abdomen.
If necessary, an ultrasound examination is performed to rule out other causes.
A urine sample is usually collected to rule out sexually transmitted diseases and urinary tract infection. Sometimes tests are also ordered to check for elevated inflammatory markers.
Once the physician has confirmed the diagnosis, they will prescribe the appropriate treatment. Normally, no follow-up is required, but a follow-up appointment may be necessary in cases of severe pelvic inflammatory disease. In cases of chlamydia, a new urine sample will also be collected once the symptoms have cleared up.
Pelvic inflammatory disease is treated with antibiotics. Usually an oral course of antibiotics is sufficient. IUD removal may be necessary. If this is the case, you can discuss other contraception options with your gynaecologist.
Severe pelvic inflammatory disease may require hospitalisation and intravenous antibiotic treatment. If the disease is severe and accompanied by abscesses in the fallopian tubes or abdominal cavity, surgery may also be necessary. Pain caused by pelvic inflammatory disease can be alleviated with painkillers.
It is usually possible to recover from pelvic inflammatory disease at home. The symptoms typically improve within a few days of starting antibiotics. The symptoms usually disappear within two weeks.
If the disease has spread to the fallopian tubes or caused a more serious pelvic infection, antibiotics may be required for several weeks. If the infection is severe, several days of hospital treatment may be necessary.
Endometriosis
A gynaecological disease in which tissue that resembles the endometrial mucosa exists outside the uterus.
human papilloma virus (HPV)
a good tendency to heal, but it should be monitored so that the infection does not persist and progress to cancer.
Lower abdominal pain in women
The most common causes for lower abdominal pain are either intestinal or gynaecological.
Ovarian cyst
An ovarian fluid-filled sac is often harmless and asymptomatic, but may sometimes require surgery.
Urinary tract infection
A need to urinate frequently and a burning sensation or pain when urinating.
Pelvic inflammatory disease is caused by the spread of bacteria into the uterine lining. The body’s own bacteria can cause the infection. Sexually transmitted diseases, such as chlamydia, can also cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammatory disease is most common after childbirth.
Symptoms of postpartum pelvic inflammatory disease include lower abdominal pain, foul-smelling discharge and fever. The symptoms can worsen quickly. Always seek medical attention if you have symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease.
Postpartum pelvic inflammatory disease is treated with antibiotics. Pelvic inflammatory disease often occurs in the days following childbirth. This may be caused by, for example, a piece of placenta remaining in the uterus. It may sometimes be necessary to surgically remove the piece of placenta by uterine scraping or endoscopy.
Pelvic inflammatory disease can quickly develop into an infection accompanied by fever, especially after childbirth. Primary diseases and medications, such as cortisone medication, may also weaken the immune system and speed up the spread of the infection. As the infection progresses, it can spread to the fallopian tubes and pelvis and cause a serious infection. Pelvic inflammatory disease caused by a sexually transmitted disease may progress slowly and cause noticeable symptoms only months after the infection.
Yes, pelvic inflammatory disease can also occur without fever. In this case, the pelvic inflammatory disease may be caused by a sexually transmitted disease, such as chlamydia. Even without fever, pelvic inflammatory disease requires antibiotic treatment.
Pelvic inflammatory disease does not heal without treatment. Pelvic inflammatory disease always requires antibiotics prescribed by a physician. Severe cases of pelvic inflammatory disease are treated in a hospital.
Untreated pelvic inflammatory disease can lead to severe infection of the fallopian tubes, pelvis and abdominal cavity. Severe pelvic inflammatory disease can be a life-threatening condition. Poorly treated or prolonged pelvic inflammatory disease may cause adhesions to the uterus and/or fallopian tubes, chronic pain and infertility.
Pelvic inflammatory disease can occur during pregnancy. During pregnancy, it can lead to a serious systemic infection and miscarriage. Seek immediate medical attention if you are pregnant and have symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease.
Pelvic inflammatory disease after a miscarriage is possible. To prevent pelvic inflammatory disease, a miscarriage always requires follow-up to ensure that the uterus is empty. The bloody discharge after a miscarriage can last for several weeks. Seek medical attention if you experience abdominal pain, foul-smelling discharge and possible fever after a miscarriage.
If you experience symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease, i.e. stomach pain, foul-smelling discharge and fever after an IUD insertion, book an appointment with a gynaecologist. Bacteria can enter the uterus during IUD insertion and cause pelvic inflammatory disease. IUD insertion is a safe procedure, but in rare cases, it may lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.
Pelvic inflammatory disease causes foul-smelling discharge. The discharge may have a strong smell or a mild and unusual odour. If you are experiencing foul-smelling discharge, it is always a good idea to book an appointment with a gynaecologist.
