What Is Cervical Pid

Common symptoms and signs include lower abdominal pain, cervical discharge, and irregular vaginal bleeding.

What does PID do to your cervix?

PID might cause an abscess — a collection of pus — to form in your reproductive tract. Most commonly, abscesses affect the fallopian tubes and ovaries, but they can also develop in the uterus or in other pelvic organs. If an abscess is left untreated, you could develop a life-threatening infection.
