10. Treatment
Treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease is relatively straight forward when the treatment starts early on. This usually means antibiotics that will help to combat the bacteria responsible for the infection. It may also be necessary for your partner to be tested and receive treatment, and you will need to abstain from sex.
A combination of antibiotics is likely to be used, and the prescription might be changed according to test results and how well the treatment is progressing. Hospitalization may be deemed necessary in some cases. This tends to mean women that are showing severe symptoms, pregnant women, and in cases of suspected abscesses. Surgery is deemed necessary in a small number of cases.
