About pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
PID usually starts when bacteria, often from sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea but also from normal vaginal bacteria, travel from the cervix up to the uterus and tubes. It can also follow childbirth, miscarriage or procedures such as IUD insertion.
Early antibiotic treatment usually clears the infection. Delayed or repeated infection can scar the fallopian tubes, causing chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy and infertility, so prompt treatment matters. See also why PID is a growing concern.

Frequently asked questions about pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
1. Can PID be treated with homeopathy alone?
No. PID is a bacterial infection that needs antibiotics from a doctor, sometimes in hospital, to protect your tubes and fertility. Homeopathy is offered only as supportive care alongside medical treatment.
2. Does my partner need treatment for PID?
If an STI is the cause, partners usually need testing and treatment to prevent reinfection. Your doctor will advise.
3. Can PID cause infertility?
Yes. Scarring and blockage of the tubes can cause infertility and ectopic pregnancy, which is why early treatment is important.
4. How is PID diagnosed?
By symptoms, pelvic examination, swabs and urine tests, blood tests and a pelvic ultrasound. Laparoscopy is used in some cases.
5. Can homeopathy help after PID?
Homeopathy is offered as individualised, supportive care for lingering pelvic pain and general recovery after completing the medical treatment. See also our page on blocked fallopian tubes.
6. Can I take homeopathic medicines along with my current medicines for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)?
Homeopathic medicines are highly diluted and are not known to interfere with other medicines, but please tell your doctor and our specialists about everything you take. Do not stop, skip or change any prescribed medicine on your own; any change should be discussed with the doctor who prescribed it.
