Per the CDC
What is PID?
Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of a woman’s reproductive organs. It is a complication often caused by some STDs, like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Other infections that are not sexually transmitted can also cause PID.
How do I get PID?
You are more likely to get PID if you:
Have an STD and do not get treated;
Have more than one sex partner;
Have a sex partner who has sex partners other than you;
Have had PID before;
Are sexually active and are age 25 or younger;
Douche;
Use an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control. However, the small increased risk is mostly limited to the first three weeks after the IUD is placed inside the uterus by a doctor.
