Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is a serious condition where there is infection and inflammation of the female pelvic organs such as the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. It can present with abdominal pain, fever and foul vaginal discharge, and requires medical treatment. Some cases but not all are related to sexual activity and sexually transmitted diseases (STD). It is possible to get PID without an STD. Delayed treatment can lead to infertility due to damage to the fallopian tube.
Typical Symptoms of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
- Abdomen hardens when lightly pressed
- Fever
- Abdominal pain worsens after pressing and releasing stomach
- History of infection of the pelvis
- IUCD / coil use within the last 1 year
- Abdominal pain
- Lower abdominal pain
- Pain when pressing down on the abdomen
Diagnostic Questions for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Does your abdomen harden when lightly pressed?
- Do you have a fever?
- Does your abdominal pain worsen after pressing and releasing your stomach?
- Have you ever been diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease?
- Are you using an IUD (intrauterine device)?
Treatment of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Treatment for PID requires antibiotics for several weeks. Depending on the severity it can be treated in the clinic or emergency room, but occasionally may also require admission to the hospital. In some cases, surgery or a procedure may be needed to drain pus from an abscess (infected collection).

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.
(Sep 27, 2024)
Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
