10 Symptoms of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

6. Spotting or Irregular Bleeding

Bleeding outside your normal menstrual cycle or unusual spotting can be an obvious sign of PID. Women may spot in the early stage of pregnancy when the fertilized ovum is attaching itself to the uterine wall. Contraceptives also cause spotting. But unusual bleeding or spotting can signal an inflammation of the uterine walls or cervix. It may be more noticeable after intercourse and may continue until you’re diagnosed and treated.
