PID is a separate problem and stands for pelvic inflammatory disease. This is generally related to a bacterial infection. And is treated with antibiotics, but unfortunately, long-term consequences can include scarring of the inside of the fallopian tubes that either blocks the Tube, or makes transport Of the egg or sperm, not possible for conception.(Pregnancy).
Further evaluation is warranted. This may include a hysterosalpingogram done in the x-ray department, or laparoscopy with retrograde dye study. For some patients either one of these studies may be not only Diagnostics but therapeutic. Meaning doing a study can help improve the chances of getting pregnant for some patients.
Trying to conceive is frustrating, difficult, sad, happy; one thing to remember, please see an infertility specialist for answers to your problems. Primary Care Providers, Family Care Specialist, even regular Ob-Gyn’s are not qualified with serious underlying disorders. The good thing is that you are very young. An Infertility Specialist should be able to help you have a wonderful, bouncing baby. Please remember, 45% of the time it’s the male who is the problem!
