Summary:

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a major cause of infertility, with the rate of infection highest among teenagers. The condition can affect the uterus, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, or other related structures. Untreated, PID causes scarring and can lead to tubal pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, and other serious consequences. This comprehensive new book reviews the basic sciences of PID and gives clear clinical guidance on the effective management of the disease and its sequelae.
