A member asked:

How would i know if i have pid? i had an surgical abortion 8 months ago at 13weeks had infection and was treated at 3week check up how is pid tested?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PID testing ?: PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) is tested with cultures and blood tests (for virus and parasitic antibodies). If you have had new sexual contacts, ask your gyn provider for an exam and testing.
