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.
Patients with Meniere's have migraine also, about 50% of the time. Meniere's disease hearing loss does not follow the expected pattern for an inner ear disease (i.e. loss of high frequencies first, and loss of OAE's). Non-drug treatment of Meniere's (i.e. diet), is almost identical to diets recommended for Migraine.
