00:00As you know, RSPs, according to studies, a large population of women around the world experience pelvic inflammatory disease or PID.

00:12Every year, according to the World Health Organization, this is one of the leading causes of infertility or infertility in women in the reproductive age.

00:21But what's more alarming is that there are cases where this is not a symptom in the beginning.

00:26And today, Meiji, we will clarify this important question about pelvic inflammatory disease with Dr. Ferdis Galbo, an OB-GYN.

00:35Good morning, Doc.

00:38Good morning, good morning, good morning. Good morning to all RSPs. Good morning and thank you for inviting me here.

00:46Welcome, Doc. I love your energy.

00:49Today, this morning, this is Meiji together with Bien, Doc.

00:53Alright, Doc, what is pelvic inflammatory disease or PID?

01:00PID or pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection, a bacterial infection in the reproductive organs of a woman

01:07that is caused by STI or sexually transmitted infections.

01:11This is an issue that we need to discuss this morning.

01:17Doc, you mentioned that it is possible to get this from STI or STI.

01:24If it is not caught, what are the possible complications of this disease, Doc?

01:30Yes, this problem, as mentioned, is caused by sexually transmitted infections.

01:36Sometimes, their presenting symptoms are nonspecific.

01:41Meaning, sometimes, the woman does not feel anything.

01:43But usually, the most common presenting symptoms are vaginal discharge or pain.

01:49Unusual discharge that is sometimes smelly or itchy.

01:55Or sometimes, the different colors, like green, yellow, and so on.

01:59And also, the cause of pain in the reproductive organs of the woman, in the heart, in the matressed area.

02:07That is the problem with this.

02:10Doc, you mentioned the symptoms of PID.

02:14What if the woman does not feel anything?

02:17Is this still dangerous?

02:20Yes, it is dangerous.

02:21We call this a subclinical infection.

02:24So, as mentioned, sometimes, the presenting symptoms of PID are nonspecific or vague.

02:30That is why this problem is still caused by, sometimes, a bad problem.

02:35Inflammation, or inflammatory reaction, can cause the ovaries of the reproductive organs to stick together.

02:43That is why there is an obstruction.

02:46This obstruction can cause what we call an ectopic pregnancy.

02:51Because the sperm, egg, and fertilization cannot flow properly.

02:59That is why it can cause an ectopic pregnancy.

03:03Or sometimes, it can cause a grabbing infection in the matressed area that can cause sepsis.

03:08The problem with sepsis is that it spreads to the blood of the patient.

03:14That is why we need to give a solution immediately.

03:18The first solution is usually antibiotics.

03:23There are different classifications.

03:25It can be oral antibiotics.

03:27Or if we need to see an ultrasound of an abscess formation or tubo-ovarian abscess,

03:34we need to administer IV antibiotics.

03:38The problem with this is that we have what we call clinical signs and symptoms to assess if it will respond.

03:44If it does not respond, then we need to undergo surgery.

03:48The problem with surgery is that sometimes, what we call pelvic clean-up,

03:53the matressed area, the tubo-ovary,

03:56the source of the infection needs to be removed.

03:59That is the problem.

04:01Because it will cause the reproductive organs to be removed from the woman.

04:06Those are the worst scenarios.

04:08That is another one.

04:10I have to tell the patients, I have to tell our viewers, our RSPBs,

04:14STI is what you call chlamydia, gonorrhea.

04:18That is the most common.

04:20It is like a sister.

04:22But you have to think also, HPV,

04:24human papillomavirus that causes cervical cancer,

04:27is also STI.

04:30HIV,

04:32human infectious disease,

04:34or HIV, the cause of AIDS,

04:36that still can be transmitted and will present also as PID.

04:41Those are the worst scenarios that our RSPBs need to know.

04:45Doc, just a follow-up question.

04:48For example, if a patient, a woman, has gonorrhea, chlamydia, or HPV,

04:55does it need to be tested immediately for PID?

04:58Is it automatic that a woman will have PID?

05:02Is that how it is, Doc?

05:04Not always automatic,

05:06but it would be better to have a consultation immediately for testing.

05:10Then, our screening test,

05:12the test for pap smear,

05:14the gram staining, KOH, all those things,

05:16all symptoms, all results,

05:18to assess.

05:19Because if it is not tested immediately,

05:21it is very dangerous.

05:23As mentioned, it not only causes infertility,

05:25or ectopic pregnancy,

05:27it can cause also sepsis or infection in the woman's body.

05:32Oh my, this is really worrying, Meiji.

05:35Doc, what are the solutions that our countrymen can do

05:38to at least avoid PID?

05:42Okay, the solution is, first, prevention.

05:46That is really what we will talk about first.

05:48Prevention is that,

05:50we have to be frank with our viewers in CARASPP,

05:53especially our young population,

05:55the so-called party-party,

05:58or the one-night stands,

06:00we have to, as much as possible,

06:02refrain from it,

06:04because that is the source of sexually transmitted infection.

06:07If there is a need to have an abortion,

06:11then you have to protect yourself.

06:13You have to use condoms and all those protections

06:15to lessen the chances of STI

06:19that causes pelvic inflammatory disease.

06:22Doc, just a follow-up question,

06:24can PID be used again once our patient has recovered?

06:29Yes.

06:30There are factors that we call persistent or recurrent infection.

06:35First, you should not consult your doctor early.

06:38Second, you should not complete the prescribed medication.

06:43Sometimes, after two or three days, you say,

06:45oh, I'm okay, I don't need it anymore.

06:47No, you really need to complete the protocol

06:50to make sure that all the bacteria die,

06:53the cause of PID.

06:55Third, you have to treat the partner,

06:58the source of the infection.

07:00Because if you connect to your partner,

07:02the source of the infection,

07:04the source of the infection will be reversed

07:06and you don't know that it will get worse.

07:08So those are the three things that we really need to understand

07:13to prevent recurrence of infection.

07:16All right.

07:17Doc, ladies,

07:20Doc mentioned how we can avoid it.

07:23Yes.

07:24And of course, consult your doctor immediately.

07:26So once again, thank you so much, Doc,

07:29for joining us this morning.
