Pelvic Inflammatory Disease


Facts: More than half of all cases of diseases of the pelvic organs occur in diseases transmitted sexually. Did you know that?
If you are a white woman, belonging to the middle class, suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease, probably, you answer "no". Why is that? "Most likely, your doctor does not want to introduce to you now in this light, said Dr. Penny Hitchcock, an epidemiologist and venereal diseases department of sexually transmitted diseases National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Bethesda, Maryland. STD patients are still despised in our society. "
Facts: yearly pelvic inflammatory disease ill million women, of whom 200 000 teenagers. And every year, half of them women and girls remain fruitless. Did you know that?
If not, you should know this. Because pelvic inflammatory disease can have a devastating impact both physically and emotionally. And almost always it can be prevented.
The disease is an inflammation of the reproductive organs, which begins as a bacterial infection of the vagina and cervix, and then spreads to the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. This is a serious infection that often requires hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics. The symptoms can be pronounced pain, often spasmodic, in the pelvis, pain when urinating, chills, nausea; abnormal vaginal discharge is also common for the disease.
But about half of infected women have no symptoms, or very low, according to Dr. Hitchcock.
So it was with Annette Dwyer, 33-year-old bank employee who was ill in adolescence as a result of infection with chlamydia; This infection is sexually transmitted, "walked" at the time. "When I got sick, I had severe cramping and discharge. Almost a whole month I did nothing, she said. I was afraid. But when the abdominal pain intensified, I thought that maybe I had appendicitis. "
Annette went to the doctor, who immediately suspected pelvic inflammatory disease. "When he told me what I was ill, and how serious it is, I was very scared and told all the boys, which met, because he, too, had to be treated for chlamydia. But I've never talked about it to her friends and did not want my parents to know about it. I was ashamed, I did not know what to do. " Unfortunately, Annette remained barren.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease poorly tolerated emotionally. "Besides the fact that you find a venereal disease in question may be very ability to have children, says Dr. Hitchcock. A woman may not even suspect that in her youth she had suffered an inflammation of the pelvis, until it finds that he can not have children. This leads to a very difficult experiences. "
