Yesterday i was diagnosed with PID and tests were taken to see what had caused it. I will have to wait a while for the results so I dont know what it has been caused by yet. I have been in unbearable pain even since being given a one off dosage of 4 antibiotics to try and cure the disease. I've since experienced bleeding the same as i'd get during a heavy period and have alot of discomfort and pain. I was wondering how likely it is that I will become infertile or whether my fallopian tubes are more than likely scarred?

Hi George
I had PID in my early twenties and ended up hospitalised because the pain was so bad. They did a laparoscopy and confirmed I had PID and gave me strong antibiotics to clear it up. Unfortunately my fallopian tubes were so badly scarred they became blocked and I have since had 2 (unsucessful) attempts at IVF. I don't remember all the symptons such as heavy bleeding as it was over 15 years ago.
Not trying to scare - you just answering your question - but to give you another person's experience my friend had PID too and was told she may have trouble conceiving but has since had 2 babies so nothing is definite.
Hopefully you won't have suffered too much damage but you will probably only find out when you try to start a family. If you fail to concieve you won't necessarily have to wait too long before they start investigations due to your medical history. When they investigate they will probably do a laparoscopy and put some dye into your tubes to see if there is any blockage due to scarring.
Sorry can't tell you how likely it is if you will become infertile but please don't spend time worring about it because there are other routes you can try.
If you are still in a lot of pain you need to go back to your doctors and maybe get more antibiotics.
I hope it turns out well for you. B
