Complications from untreated PID can take many years to develop. The longer a woman has untreated PID, the greater the chance that these problems will occur.

If you have PID, talking about it can be hard. But your health is at stake. If a recent STI caused your PID, your partner must be tested and treated. If you've had PID for many years, you and your partner may now need to discuss problems such as infertility.
