Bacteria (a type of germ) moves up from a woman's vagina, infecting her tubes, ovaries, and womb. Many different types of germs can cause PID. But, germs found in two common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), gonorrhea and chlamydia, are one possible cause. They are no longer the most common cause of symptomatic PID; instead anaerobic bacteria, as those found in bacterial vaginosis, are the most common cause. It can take from a few days to a few months to turn into PID.

Studies show that women can have pelvic inflammatory disease due to chlamydia without noticable symptoms. Even though she feels well, a woman infected with chlamydia may develop scarring or long-term problems if she has untreated chlamydia. This is the most common cause of female infertility in the US, and is largely preventable if women use condoms when having sex, get themselves and their partners tested before starting to have sex together, reduce the number of partners, and follow all treatment instructions (including abstinence for seven days after treatment and repeat testing in three months).

It can be hard for your health care provider to figure out if you have PID. Symptoms can be mild and are like symptoms of some other diseases. If you think that you may have PID, see a health care provider such as your primary care provider, department of health, or family planning center right away. If you are treated right away, you'll be less likely to have long-term problems, such as infertility.

PID is usually acute, short term, and clears with both antibiotics or fuyan pill from Wuhan Dr. Lee's TCM Clinic . What makes PID so dangerous is that its symptoms can often be very difficult to detect. If PID infection spread to the fallopian tube it would cause infertility. And the time would depends on your personal situation.

In fact, up to 60% of women do not even recognize that they are infected with PID. Those who do have symptoms may experience mild or severe ones, including:

  • lower abdominal pain
  • unusual vaginal discharge (often yellow or green)
  • pain during intercourse
  • burning during urination
  • irregular menstrual bleeding
  • pain in the upper right abdomen
If you are experiencing any symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease, it is important to seek treatment immediately. The longer you go without treatment, the higher your risk of experiencing health complications. Treatment generally consists of oral or injectable antibiotics that are effective against a wide range of bacteria.

You can have HPV for decades without having symptoms or abnormal Pap smears.
It can be days to years.
I've been reading on this virus a lot and it seems there is no definite time period for the virus to lay undetected. the cdcs website has info on it if you need more.

It can stay dormant for as long as 10 - 15 years! The more sexual partners the higher the risk unless you use condoms of course.
A man may never know he has HPV.

It is possible to be infected with HPV and not know it. If you engage in unprotected sex, you should be tested for STIs regularly.
