Pelvic inflammatory disease(PID)can be treated with antibiotics(drugs
that kill bacteria)prescribed by a doctor and its dosage must be
completed,even if the symptoms go away.Because if not completed as prescribed by the doctor,it can lead to a more severe or long term complications.But if drugs dosage are fully completed,it helps to make sure infections are fully cured.Visiting of the doctor is compulsory and should be 2 or 3 days of treatment to be assured the drugs are working.
PID can lead to serious problems like ectopic pregnancy,infertility and chronic pelvic pain,and if the pelvic organ is damaged as a result of PID before treatment is commenced,its likely cannot be repaired.And that should not stop one from getting treatment,cause if one do not get treated,it may result to bareness
The doctor may take you in for PID treatment if you are
*Very sick
*Pregnant
Not responding or finding it difficult to swallow pills,intravenous antibiotics is what will be given if your case turns out like this.
Have an abscess(sore) in a fallopian tube or ovary,and symptoms persist or abscess still noticed after treatment,surgery may be the next option.
Constant pelvic pain and scarring caused by PID are often difficult to treat,but gets better after surgery sometimes.
And finally encourage your sex partners to go for treatment even if he or she does not have the symptoms yet,or sex with such partner should be avoided till he or she gets treated.
