5. Infertility
Although usually quite mild, pelvic inflammatory disease can go on to develop severe complications if it is not treated accordingly. The infection can cause permanent damage and this will result in infertility in some cases. If damage does lead to infertility then the problem cannot usually be reversed.
This makes it important to get treatment as soon as a problem is suspected because doing so can limit any harm done. Patients are also more likely to become infertile each time they contract the disease. If it does seem to be occurring frequently then you should consider speaking with a specialist.
