Physiotherapy for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is a serious infection of the female reproductive organs, often caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia and gonorrhea. It can lead to inflammation, pain, and potential long-term complications if not treated promptly and effectively. Physiotherapy can play a role in the management of certain aspects of PID, but it’s important to note that physiotherapy alone is not a replacement for medical treatment. Physiotherapy for PID focuses on addressing some of the physical symptoms and effects that can accompany the condition. These may include: Pelvic Pain Management : PID can lead to pelvic pain, which may become chronic even after the infection has been treated.
