10 Symptoms of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

4. Painful Intercourse

Sex used to be so much fun, but lately, pain during or after makes you want to skip it altogether. Intercourse can irritate the lining of the cervix which is already infected and inflamed. The result—unusual pain and discomfort. Some women may lose the desire to have sex or avoid sex altogether. If it turns out to be PID, your doctor will prescribe a round of antibiotics to treat the infection and improve the symptoms.
