Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can lead to scarring and blockages of the fallopian tubes, which can prevent the egg from being fertilized or reaching the uterus, thus causing infertility. Non-patent (blocked) fallopian tubes are a common consequence of PID and a likely cause of infertility in women with a history of the condition.
