The Diagnostic Utility of Ultrasound in Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) represents a significant and complex health issue affecting women, particularly those of reproductive age. Characterized by the infection and inflammation of the reproductive organs, PID often results from ascending infections primarily caused by sexually transmitted pathogens, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomation. However, it can also be associated with endogenous bacteria or occur following surgical procedures.
