The Diagnostic Utility of Ultrasound in Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

Inclusion Criteria: * Women of reproductive age (18-45 years) presenting with symptoms suggestive of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). * Patients who have been clinically diagnosed with PID based on symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, abnormal vaginal discharge, and tenderness upon pelvic examination. * Patients who have undergone preliminary diagnostic tests, such as high vaginal swab (HVS) and urine microscopy, culture, and sensitivity (m/c/s), prior to ultrasound assessment. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women, due to potential confounding factors in ultrasound findings and differential diagnosis. * Patients with chronic pelvic pain not related to acute PID episodes. * Patients who do not provide informed consent for participation in the study. * Patients with a history of recent pelvic surgery within the last 6 months, as postoperative changes may affect ultrasound findings.
