How do women get a pelvic infection or any infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PID: Occurs when bacteria move upward from a woman's vagina or cervix (opening to the uterus) into her reproductive organs. Many different organisms can cause pid, but many cases are associated with gonorrhea and chlamydia, two very common bacterial stds. A prior episode of pid increases the risk of another episode because the reproductive organs may be damaged during the initial bout of infection.
