Epidemiology of PID
750,000 women experience an episode of acute PID each year in the U.S.
10%--15% of untreated chlamydial infections result in diagnosed clinical PID
10-15%
may become infertile
7.4% of married females aged 15--44 years are infertile
Women under age 25 are more likely to develop PID because their cervix is less developed than older women
PID is more likely in women who douche
Women who have had PID before are more likely to have it again, probably due to scarring in the first incidence
Infertility costs estimated at $700 million annually in the U.S.
