Among the female internal reproductive organs, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are called uterine appendages. Adnexitis refers to inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. However, fallopian tube and oophoritis are often accompanied by parametrial connective tissue inflammation and pelvic peritonitis, and are difficult to distinguish during diagnosis. Among pelvic organ inflammations, fallopian tube inflammation is the most common. Due to the proximity of anatomical sites, fallopian tube inflammation, oophoritis, and pelvic peritonitis often coexist and affect each other.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, connective tissue around the uterus, and pelvic peritoneum. Chronic PID is often caused by incomplete treatment of the acute phase. It takes a long time to develop and is more stubborn. Bacteria retrogradely infect the uterus and fallopian tubes and reach the pelvic cavity. But in real life, not all women will suffer from PID, only a few will.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease. Its most typical symptom is fever. If it is not treated in time, it will have a great impact on women's health. If it is well treated in the early stage, it will not develop into a serious disease.

But if it is not treated well, the consequences will be terrible. Female friends with pelvic inflammatory disease must seek early treatment. It can be seen that the harm of pelvic inflammatory disease is very great, and the majority of women must be vigilant and prevent it before it happens.
