Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) represents a significant and complex health issue affecting women, particularly those of reproductive age. Characterized by the infection and inflammation of the reproductive organs, PID often results from ascending infections primarily caused by sexually transmitted pathogens, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomation. However, it can also be associated with endogenous bacteria or occur following surgical procedures.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The diverse manifestations of PID from asymptomatic cases to acute presentations, pose significant challenges in diagnosis and prompt treatment. Accurate diagnosis is crucial, as untreated infections can lead to severe complications, including infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and ectopic pregnancies.

Reduced Morbidity

Early and accurate diagnosis using ultrasound minimizes delays in treatment initiation, thereby preventing complications such as chronic pain and abscess formation. By reducing the severity and duration of the disease, ultrasound contributes to improved patient well-being and a quicker recovery trajectory.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Women of reproductive age (18-45 years) presenting with symptoms suggestive of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
* Patients who have been clinically diagnosed with PID based on symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, abnormal vaginal discharge, and tenderness upon pelvic examination.
* Patients who have undergone preliminary diagnostic tests, such as high vaginal swab (HVS) and urine microscopy, culture, and sensitivity (m/c/s), prior to ultrasound assessment.

Exclusion Criteria

* Pregnant women, due to potential confounding factors in ultrasound findings and differential diagnosis.
* Patients with chronic pelvic pain not related to acute PID episodes.
* Patients who do not provide informed consent for participation in the study.
* Patients with a history of recent pelvic surgery within the last 6 months, as postoperative changes may affect ultrasound findings.
