Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common cause of infertility in women, accounting for 15% to 30% of infertility cases each year. PID occurs when sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, spread from the vagina and cervix to the reproductive organs, leading to inflammation and scarring that can damage the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus. This can prevent fertilization and implantation of the egg, making it difficult or impossible for a woman to conceive naturally. Early treatment of STIs and prompt management of PID can help reduce the risk of infertility.
