The vast majority of pelvic inflammatory disease stems from sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Another common cause of PID is a âmixed infectionâ usually arising from contamination by microorganisms from the intestine or vagina. This form of PID may have no relation to multiple partners.
If the cervix is exposed to a sexually transmitted disease -- such as gonorrhea and/or chlamydia -- the cervix itself becomes infected and less able to prevent the spread of organisms to the internal organs. PID occurs when the disease-causing organisms travel from the cervix to the upper genital tract.Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause about 90% of all cases of PID. Other causes include abortion, childbirth, and pelvic procedures.he symptoms of PID can vary, but may include the following: 1  Dull pain or tenderness in the stomach or lower abdominal area, or pain in the right upper abdomen. 2  Abnormal vaginal discharge that is yellow or green in color or that has an unusual odor. 3  Painful urination.
