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.
Pelvic inflammatory disease may require surgery. This is rare and only necessary if an abscess in your pelvis ruptures or your doctor suspects that an abscess will rupture. It can also be necessary if the infection does not respond to treatment. The bacteria that cause PID can spread through sexual contact. If you are sexually active, your partner should also get treated for PID. Men may be silent carriers of bacteria that cause pelvic inflammatory disease.
