10 PID Symptoms
9. Diagnosis
In order to help reach a diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease, your doctor will likely ask you a number of questions about your lifestyle. This includes questions about your sexual activities, as well as your medical history. If the condition is suspected then tests will likely be requested to help find out just what the cause is.
Blood and urine tests will likely need to be carried out, and an ultrasound may also be used. If these are inconclusive, then a biopsy might be needed. In some cases, a laparoscopy might be requested to help medical professionals to see what is happening internally.
