Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the upper genital tract in women, primarily caused by sexually transmitted bacteria, leading to symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and abnormal discharge. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and imaging studies, while treatment typically includes antibiotics and may require surgical intervention for severe cases. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent long-term complications like infertility and chronic pelvic pain.
