Description
Aim: To study clinical profile of patients with pelvic inflammatory disease. Methods: The prospective cross-sectional study which was carried in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, RIMS, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India. 200 patients in reproductive age group having PID were selected randomly. Result: Most common group presenting with PID were between 25to 29 years of age (35%) followed by 22 to 24 years of age (25%). It was less common in age less than 20years (1%) and more than 40 years of age (4%). Maximum women with PID were having parity of 2 to 5(64%). It was less common in nullipara (5%). PID was commonest in illiterate women (54%) and less common in women who were graduate (2%). PID was more common in women having low socioeconomic status. Maximum number of women presenting with PID did not used contraceptive. (60%). 15% used barrier method but were irregular and 12% used IUCD. Most of the women presented with discharge per vaginum (75 %) followed by pain lower abdomen (85%) and back ache (41%). 75% women had discharge per vaginum on speculum examination. 91% had cervical motion tenderness and only 5% presented with adenexal mass. Conclusion: Incidence of PID is increasing especially in developing countries due to lack of awareness and unsafe sexual practices. It is seen to be more in younger age group with morbidity like tubal factor infertility, ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic pain.
