If you had asymptomatic chlamydia for five years could have PID and how would detect it?
It is possible to have asymptomatic chlamydia for five years and develop pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID is a serious condition that can cause damage to the reproductive organs and lead to infertility.
How to detect PID
PID can be difficult to diagnose, as it often does not cause any symptoms. However, some possible signs and symptoms of PID include:
* Pelvic pain
* Fever
* Chills
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Bleeding between periods
* Pain during intercourse
* Painful urination
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see your doctor right away. PID can be diagnosed with a pelvic exam, blood tests, and a culture of the cervix.
Treatment for PID
PID is treated with antibiotics. The type of antibiotics used will depend on the type of bacteria that is causing the infection. Treatment usually lasts for 14 days.
Preventing PID
The best way to prevent PID is to avoid getting chlamydia. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI), so it can be prevented by using condoms during sex. It is also important to get regular STI testing, especially if you are sexually active with multiple partners.
