An infection of a woman's reproductive system. PID is usually caused when an STD (most of the time either chlamidia or gonorrhea) goes untreated. Symptoms for PID include cramping, tenderness, or pains in the pelvic area. PID can scar a woman's reproductive system. It can cause lifelong pain and even make her infertile (unable to have children).
An infection of organs in the pelvic cavity which can lead to severe complications such as tubal blockage and adhesion growth.
Infection of the pelvic organs such as the fallopian tubes that often causes scarring which can then lead to infertility.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (or disorder) (PID) is a generic term for infection of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as it progresses to scar formation with adhesions to nearby tissues and organs. This may lead to tissue necrosis with/or without abscess formation. Pus can be released into the peritoneum. â…” of patients with laparoscopic evidence of previous PID were not aware they had had PID (Cecil's 5th ed).
