In classical Unani text, warme rehm (PID) is further subdivided into warme rehm har & warme rehm saudavi, warme rehm har manifests specific as well as associated symptoms due to anatomical proximity of uterus, which aid in diagnosis and if it is not treated adequately, it becomes warme rehm sulb which is difficult to treat.
