Abstract
Timely diagnosis of PID is crucial for effective management, and
leveraging ultrasound can enhance this process. Acute PID presents
diagnostic challenges due to its variable symptoms, which can be subtle
or nonspecific, and may even be asymptomatic. These factors often lead
to delays in diagnosis and treatment, contributing to inflammatory
complications in the upper genital tract. While laparoscopy offers a
more precise diagnosis, its limited availability and inability to detect
all forms of PID make it less practical for timely management. However,
Transvaginal sonography (TVS) can be a valuable tool in this regard,
offering a non-invasive and accessible method for evaluating pelvic
inflammatory changes. By utilizing ultrasound alongside clinical
assessment, healthcare providers can improve the timeliness of PID
diagnosis, leading to more effective management and reduced risk of
complications.
