painful menstruation
dysmennorhea
painful intercourse
dyspareunia
implants of endometrial tissue outside the uterus
endometriosis
blood-filled cyst located on the ovary, which is the result of endometriosis
endometrioma
Bacterial infection of the endometrium with potential extension into the surrounding (parametrial) tissues
endometritis
Rare complication of PID resulting in the development of liver adhesions owing to the inflammatory exudates
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome
myometrial inflammation
myometritis
infection of the ovaries
oophoritis
infection of the connective tissue surrounding the uterus
parametritis
infection of the female reproductive tract
pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
pus within the fallopian tube
pyosalpinx

salpingitis
infection found in the late stages of PID resulting in the inability to differentiate between tubal and ovarian structures
tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA)
infection of the peritoneum
peritonitis
Pelvic inflammatory disease is:

One incident of PID can increase the risk of tubal factor infertility and ectopic pregnancy:
six times
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common infection of the _____ in reproductive-age women.
lower genital tract
Early sonographic findings of pelvic inflammatory disease are:
often nonspecific

is not visualized with ultrasound
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is caused by peritonitis and includes what organ?
liver
Acute PID sonographic findings are all except:
