A member asked:

I had pid about 6 months ago. went to the hospital for pain , was prescribed antibiotics. out the next day. am i unfertile?

Pid/ infertility: Pid is caused by infections passed person to person. It can result in infertility. It is impossible to say at this time is that is the case for you. You can limit further risk by always using condoms to prevent further pid.
