If left untreated, PID can lead to serious complications such as:
Infertility: Scarring of the fallopian tubes can block the passage of eggs, leading to difficulty in becoming pregnant. Ectopic pregnancy: Scarring can cause a fertilized egg to implant outside the uterus, which is a medical emergency. Chronic pelvic pain: Persistent pain in the pelvic region can occur due to long-term damage. Abscess formation: Fluid-filled pockets (abscesses) can form in the reproductive tract, requiring surgical intervention.
