Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection that progresses from the vagina and cervix to infect the pelvic cavity and fallopian tubes. It can lead to infertility and other serious health problems if left untreated. A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in the urinary system, which includes the bladder, kidneys, ureters, and urethra. Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and sometimes infertility. An ascending pelvic inflammation is not a recognized medical term.
