Is pelvic inflammatory disease contagious to men?

I believe many people know that pelvic inflammatory disease is a disease in which the female pelvic reproductive organs become inflamed. So if a woman has pelvic inflammatory disease, will her partner be affected? Is pelvic inflammatory disease harmful to men? Is it contagious?

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, which lasts for a long time and is more stubborn. The bacteria can retrogradely infect and reach the pelvic cavity through the uterus and fallopian tubes. Is it harmful to men if women with PID have sex with men?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a female disease and normally does not cause any adverse effects on men. It is best for women not to have sex during treatment, otherwise it will not only aggravate the condition of women, but also may infect men with bacteria during sexual intercourse, making men sick. Therefore, women with pelvic inflammatory disease should pay attention and try not to have sex during treatment.

For men, since pelvic inflammatory disease is contagious, it will not be transmitted to men under normal circumstances. However, if you have sex with a woman with pelvic inflammatory disease, it may be transmitted to men through the woman's vagina.

Pelvic inflammatory disease generally causes low fever, fatigue, menstrual disorders, increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, etc. If these symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and receive treatment in time to prevent the development of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which will make treatment more difficult.

In short, pelvic inflammatory disease is basically harmless to men. If a woman with pelvic inflammatory disease has sex with a man, the disease may be transmitted to the man. It is best not to have sex if you have pelvic inflammatory disease.
