Pelvic inflammatory disease with hydrosalpinx

Discussion:

Pelvic inflammatory disease is relatively common in this age group, especially in females with multiple sex partners. It is usually caused by an ascending infection. Involvement of the ovaries usually results in a tubo-ovarian complex, in which case the architecture of the ovary is preserved, or tubo-ovarian abscess, where there is no identifiable ovary or fallopian tube. Long-term complications include adhesion formation and infertility.
