The primary clinical symptoms are lower abdominal pain, unpleasant vaginal discharge, painful urination, hemato-salpinx bleeding irregularities, and Tubo-ovarian mass, which are late consequences of PID. PID is a problem for public health. Higher risks of miscarriage, persistent pelvic pain, sexually transmitted diseases, gradual organ damage, and long-term reproductive impairment owing to recurrence are all possible outcomes of postponing treatment of PID.
