A member asked:

How long does it take for pid to be cleared up after only having it for 2 weeks? taking azithromycin for chlamydia. at risk for infertility?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Once antibiotics are given, the inflammation subsides in a week. The earlier you have treatment done, the lower risk for infertility in future. Use condoms to prevent re-infection. Also make sure you get your partner treated.
