Very serious answers about PID..?

Im trying to help my friend out in this situation....
Last year( October ) She found out that she had PID ( Pelvic Inflamatory Deases) and it was cause by chlmydia. She got treated in October, but she belives she must of got it in Febuary.. Now she is worried that she won't be able to have any children because PID can cause Inferlity... What u think.. She's safe or u think she waited to long to treat it???

she needs to have an ultasound so that her MD can determine how much scar tissue she has from the disease, that is the only way to tell. and even if she does have a good bit of scar tissue, there are more options out there for her now. She can try having a DNC ( where they go in and clean out her uterus) it cleans off the uterine walls and makes the chances of the sperm coming in contact with the egg more prevelant and easy. they are more options now.

It all depends on how much scar tissue she developed. See a doctor about this.

Prompt and appropriate treatment can help prevent complications of PID. Without treatment, PID can cause permanent damage to the female reproductive organs. Infection-causing bacteria can silently invade the fallopian tubes, causing normal tissue to turn into scar tissue. This scar tissue blocks or interrupts the normal movement of eggs into the uterus. If the fallopian tubes are totally blocked by scar tissue, sperm cannot fertilize an egg, and the woman becomes infertile. Infertility also can occur if the fallopian tubes are partially blocked or even slightly damaged. About one in ten women with PID becomes infertile, and if a woman has multiple episodes of PID, her chances of becoming infertile increase.

In addition, a partially blocked or slightly damaged fallopian tube may cause a fertilized egg to remain in the fallopian tube. If this fertilized egg begins to grow in the tube as if it were in the uterus, it is called an ectopic pregnancy. As it grows, an ectopic pregnancy can rupture the fallopian tube causing severe pain, internal bleeding, and even death.

Scarring in the fallopian tubes and other pelvic structures can also cause chronic pelvic pain (pain that lasts for months or even years). Women with repeated episodes of PID are more likely to suffer infertility, ectopic pregnancy, or chronic pelvic pain.

If left untreated, PID can cause scarring and obstruction in the fallopian tubes, which blocks the normal passage of the egg into the uterus and prevents fertilization. PID is a major causes of infertility in women of reproductive age.
About 20% of women who have PID become infertile. In the United States, PID causes an estimated 100,000 cases of female infertility every year. The greater the number of episodes of PID, the greater the risk for infertility.

Many women who are infertile as a result of PID never have symptoms and do not know that they have or have had PID until they have an infertility work-up. This is particularly true of PID caused by chlamydial infection.

Tubal pregnancy
A tubal pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg is not able to pass through the fallopian tubes to the uterus and attaches to and develops in the fallopian tube. The egg can not develop normally in a fallopian tube. Tubal pregnancies are almost always fatal for the fetus and are life-threatening for the mother. Tubal pregnancies are the major cause of pregnancy-related deaths among women in the United States.
Women who have had PID are 6 to 10 times more likely to have a tubal pregnancy. There is an estimated 13% risk of tubal pregnancy after one episode of PID and 70% risk after three episodes. In the United States, PID leads to 70,000 tubal pregancies every year
