Why should intercourse be avoided during pid pill treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid re-infection: P.I.D. (pelvic inflammatory disease) is a serious infection of the female genital tract (tubes/ovaries) usually caused by a std; e.g. Chlamydia/gonorrhea. No intercourse is recommended to avoid re-infection and prevent 'trauma' and allow healing.
