N74.8: Female pelvic inflammatory disorders in other diseases classified elsewhere
You have a specific disease. Organs or tissue in your pelvis are inflamed as a result.
The pelvis contains the internal genital organs. The internal female genital organs include the uterus, the fallopian tubes and ovaries. The vagina is also one of the internal genital organs and goes from the uterus to the outside of the body.
You may not have any symptoms if organs in your pelvis are inflamed. However it may disrupt your periods. Sometimes you may also have pain in the abdomen.
If the fallopian tubes are inflamed over a long period they may stick together. A woman has two ovaries. Each ovary normally takes turns maturing one egg every month. These eggs may be fertilized by sperm. The eggs pass to the uterus through the fallopian tube. If the fallopian tubes stick together this may prevent you from conceiving naturally.
