Pelvic inflammatory disease

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is a serious reproductive health condition caused by the spread of bacteria from the vagina or cervix into the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. Most often linked to untreated sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia and gonorrhea, PID affects millions of women globally and can lead to long-term complications if not diagnosed and treated early.

Our Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Awareness & Recovery Guide is designed to help women recognize symptoms early, understand risk factors, seek timely treatment, and take charge of their reproductive health. Whether you’re managing an active infection or want to prevent future issues, this guide gives you the tools you need in one clear, accessible resource.
