Synopsis

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a silent scourge that threatens every young woman who has a sex life. It leads to difficult periods, painful sex and is one of the chief causes of infertility. Yet few of those who are most vulnerable have heard of the condition, few doctors know how to treat it properly and very little support is available to sufferers. Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted disease that accounts for up to half all recognized cases of PID. It is often completely silent and tragically harms unborn babies, sometimes fatally. This book explains what causes PID and chlamydia, the symptoms to look out for and the best forms of treatment and self-help - including how to avoid them in the first place. Some experts believe that by the year 2000 one in four women will be victims of PID. Patsy Westcott has also written "Alternative Health Care for Women".
