Possibly: You should follow up w your physician to figure it out as the treatment for gc/chlamydia cervicitis is different then that for pid. Delaying could have long term complications associated w fertility (among other less common complications).

I have chlamydia and suspect I may have pid, will the zithromax prescribed cure PID if I have it, or do I need to go back to the doctor to be checked?

A member asked:

Caught chlamydia 7/20, treated with doxy 9/10. Should I be worried about PID? Currently have no symptoms except light fever (37.4). Will I be infertile? Can PID develop even when Im curing chlamydia (during the week?)

A member asked:

Im confused by answers on previous questions; if the chlamydia caused PID, does it mean that 7 days of doxycycline would have been enough to cure PID? Why do several sources recommend 14 days of doxy in combination with other drug to cure PID?
