Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection and inflammation of the uterus, ovaries, and other female reproductive organs. It causes scarring in these organs. This can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic pain, abscesses, and other serious problems. PID is the most common preventable cause of infertility in the United States.
Researchers believe that Meniereâs disease is the result of constrictions in blood vessels similar to those that cause migraine headaches. Others think Meniereâs disease could be a consequence of viral infections, allergies, or autoimmune reactions.
Migraines occur more frequently in patients with Meniereâs disease (Ibekwe, 2008). Meniereâs patients who have associated migraines are reported to have an earlier age of disease onset and a higher rate of family history, suggesting a genetic component (Cha, 2007).
