Abstract
Introduction: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is one of the most serious infections faced by women today. It is a common problem encountered in gynecologic infertility, family planning, legal abortions, postnatal and sterilization clinics in India and abroad1. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an important public health problem with serious repercussion on women’s health and well being. Other than the chronicity of lower abdominal pain marring the women’s well being, infertility and it’s associated stigma compounds the need to study this issue in developing countries. Aims and Objectives: To study the prevalence and risk factors associated with Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases and its outcome. Methodology: This was a hospital based study in 150 PID patients (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) and Other 150 patients attending the Gynecology OPD for other gynecological conditions Result: Majority of the PID patients were having Multiparty i.e. 54.87% as compared to Non-PID patients 46.13% and this Observed difference was significant (X2=5.28,p<0.01). Most of the PID patients were having Age less18 yrs of age i.e.54.83% as compared to Non-PID patients 45.17% and this Observed difference was significant (X2=3.98,p<0.005). Majority of the PID patients were having Home Delivery 58.00% as compared to Non-PID patients ie35.04% and this Observed difference was significant (X2=3.84,p<0.05). Maximum PID patients were having Delivery attended by un-trained personnel 66.96% as compared to Non-PID patients 43.14% and this Observed difference was highly significant (X2= 16.24,p<0.005).Conclusion: As the most of the contributory factor of PID were Multiparty, Home Delivery and Delivery Conducted by Un-trained Personnel and Age less than 18 years so, early marriages and Family planning methods should be adopted in all eligible couple, and all deliveries at home and attended by untrained personnel should be discoursed
