Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PID infection results in permanent changes to the ciliated epithelium of the fallopian or uterine tubes. A recent study has found that one episode of mild, subclinical PID resulted in a 40% decrease in later pregnancy rates, and multiple episodes of PID further increase the risk of infertility. Scarring caused by PID greatly increases the risk of a later ectopic pregnancy by up to 10-fold. Scarring and adhesions also can result in chronic pelvic pain and, potentially, an increased risk of later uterine (not cervical) cancer.
