Infection in a woman’s pelvic region. If not treated promptly PID can become very serious and often fatal.
Severe pain in the lower abdomen. Vaginal discharge. Fever. Recurrent pain in the lower abdomen. Backache. Irregular periods. Pain during intercourse. Infertility. Unpleasant-smelling vaginal discharge. PID can be either acute or chronic. Acute PID comes on suddenly and is usually severe. Chronic PID is an infection that may cause only recurrent mild pain and sometimes backache. Some women have no obvious symptoms.
PID is caused by bacteria from contaminated semen that swim from the vagina into the uterus. Most cases of PID used to be caused by the organism responsible for the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea, or by Chlamydia. Recently, researchers have linked other organisms to PID.
Because PID is such a serious ailment, you must consult your doctor who will recommend the best course of action.
Only use alternative methods during or after conventional treatment to help speed recovery. To help fight PID infection, herbalists recommend Echinacea (Echinacea spp.), meadowsweet, goldenseal, St John’s Wort or calendula (Calendula officinalis). Blue Cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides) and false unicorn root (Chamaelirium luteum)
