| | The progress of the disease and response to therapy are best determined by studying the subjective and objective clinical findings. | | | Before any patient was included in the study, careful examination was done to rule out the presence of malignant disease or other conditions, which required immediate surgery. | | | Some patients with large, tender, bilateral adnexal masses and abdominal and pelvic pain were afebrile and had normal white counts. |

| | Diagnosis would be in the form of a pelvic examination from your doctor and probably an analysis and culture of vaginal discharge and secretions. | | | Women with an early and mild tubal infection can be treated on an outpatient basis with adequate amounts of antibiotics, such as penicillin, pain relievers and lots of bed rest. | | | The reason is that that the douching may flush the bacteria back upward into the upper genital tract. |

| | Because STDs can lead to PID, the best way to prevent PID is to abstain from having sex or to have sex with one person in a mutually monogamous relationship. | | | Untreated PID can damage the fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, and cervix, leading to chronic pelvic pain and serious damage to the reproductive system. | | | The doctor will ask questions about her medical history, method of birth control, and her sexual habits and those of her partner. |

| | If, in a pelvic examination, the doctor detects tenderness and perhaps even a lump next to the uterus, then PID is a possible cause. | | | Even though PID is a relatively harmless condition, if it is not treated quickly and effectively, it can result in permanent damage to the Fallopian tubes. | | | In the UK the 'bug' most commonly responsible for PID is Chlamydia. |

| | This can cause chronic pelvic pain (pain that last for months or even years). | | | If left untreated, PID can lead to serious problems like infertility (not being able to get pregnant), ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus), constant pelvic pain, and other problems. | | | This allows the surgeon to view the internal pelvic organs and take specimens, or tissue samples, for laboratory studies if needed. |
