Regular testing for sexually transmitted infections is encouraged for prevention. The risk of contracting pelvic inflammatory disease can be reduced by the following: * Using barrier methods such as condoms; see human sexual behaviour for other listings. * Seeking medical attention if you are experiencing symptoms of PID. * Using hormonal combined contraceptive pills also helps in reducing the chances of PID by thickening the cervical mucosal plug & hence preventing the ascent of causative organisms from the lower genital tract. * Seeking medical attention after learning that a current or former sex partner has, or might have had a sexually transmitted infection. * Getting a STI history from your current partner and strongly encouraging they be tested and treated before intercourse. * Diligence in avoiding vaginal activity, particularly intercourse, after the end of a pregnancy (delivery, miscarriage, or abortion) or certain gynecological procedures, to ensure that the cervix closes. * Reducing the number of sexual partners. * Sexual monogamy. * Abstinence
