The vast majority of pelvic inflammatory disease stems from sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Another common cause of PID is a âmixed infectionâ usually arising from contamination by microorganisms from the intestine or vagina. This form of PID may have no relation to multiple partners.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is usually caused by a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that infects the cervix . When the cervix, which connects the upper vagina to the uterus, is infected with an STI, other bacteria in the vagina can more easily get into and infect the uterus and fallopian tubes. The most common STIs that cause PID are gonorrhea and chlamydia. PID caused by chlamydia may have milder symptoms or no symptoms (compared with PID caused by gonorrhea), which can delay diagnosis. PID caused by chlamydia is most common among teenagers and young adult women.
