PID is an infection of the uterus or womb, fallopian tubes (which carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus), and other reproductive organs. PID often is a serious complication of chlamydia and gonorrhea. Untreated, PID can result in damage to the fallopian tubes and tissues in and near the uterus and ovaries. Serious consequences of PID include infertility, ectopic pregnancy, abscess formation, and chronic pelvic pain.
