Overview[edit | edit source]

Common risk factors in the development of pelvic inflammatory disease include prior history of pelvic inflammatory disease, recent sexual contact, multiple sexual partners and IUD.

Risk Factors[edit | edit source]

Important risk factors in PID development include:

Multiple partners:

Having multiple sexual partners within last six months increase the risk of PID.^[1]

Previous PID:

Recurrent PID is more common among women who have a history of PID.^[2]

IUD:

It will increase the risk of PID in first 3 weeks after implementation.^[3]^[4]
