Podcast 687: STI Complications

Podcast 687: STI Complications

Contributor: Jared Scott, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) occurs when the infection ascends into the uterus
  • Tubo-ovarian abscess occurs when the infection ascends to the fallopian tubes
  • Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome occurs when the infection enters the peritoneum and causes peritoneal inflammation with peri-hepatic inflammation
  • These conditions require GYN consultation and often more robust antibiotic therapy for treatment
