7. What Is the Treatment For PID?
The treatment for PID depends on the severity of disease advancement. Most cases can be treated with antibiotics. The type of bacteria causing the PID can be difficult to pinpoint, so it may take more than one course of antibiotic treatment to clear the infection.
More severe cases may need surgery, particularly if a pelvic abscess has developed and is in danger of rupturing. If antibiotic treatment has been tried without resolution, surgical intervention may be necessary to clean out the remainder of the infection.
