A member asked:
What are the symptoms of being infertile from pelvic inflammatory disease? will being infertile show up on a home fertility test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No symptoms: You are correct that pid can result in infertiliy. The mechansim by which pid causes infertility is that it can cause tubal obstruction from scarring as the infection heals. It won't show up on any home fertility test. The best way to assess this is an x-ray to see if the tubes are open or not. It can also be evaluated during minor surgery called laparoscopy.
