Vaginal and Pelvic Infection Treatment Clinic in Arcadia, CA

We are committed to providing comprehensive care for women experiencing pelvic infections, commonly referred to as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Pelvic infections are serious conditions that can affect the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, often resulting from a mix of bacteria—including sexually transmitted organisms such as Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, as well as other bacteria normally present in the vaginal area.

Our Approach to PID Treatment:

● Personalized Antibiotic Therapy: Our experienced providers carefully select a combination of antibiotics to effectively target the range of bacteria responsible for pelvic infections. Completing the full course of antibiotics as prescribed is essential, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete resolution of the infection.

● Advanced Care When Needed: For severe infections or cases that do not respond to oral medications, our center can facilitate hospital-based care, including intravenous (IV) antibiotics. In rare instances where an abscess forms or complications arise, surgical intervention may be necessary, and our team can coordinate this care as well.

● Comprehensive Symptom Management: We prioritize your comfort and recovery by recommending appropriate pain management and rest throughout your treatment course.

● Partner Treatment and Prevention: To prevent reinfection, we advise that sexual partners also receive evaluation and treatment, even if they do not have symptoms. We also recommend abstaining from sexual activity until the infection has fully resolved and follow-up care is complete.

If you suspect you have a pelvic infection or are experiencing symptoms such as pelvic pain, unusual discharge, or fever, please contact us promptly. Our dedicated team is here to provide expert evaluation, compassionate care, and tailored treatment to support your health and well-being.

We specialize in diagnosing and treating pelvic infections, commonly known as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs and can have serious long-term effects if not treated promptly and properly.

When PID is suspected or diagnosed, our experienced OB-Gyn providers will recommend a combination of antibiotics that target the most likely bacteria, including those associated with sexually transmitted infections (such as chlamydia and gonorrhea). Most cases can be treated with oral antibiotics prescribed in our center. However, in more severe cases, intravenous antibiotics or even short-term hospitalization may be necessary, and our team is equipped to coordinate this higher level of care if needed.

To prevent reinfection, it is essential that your sexual partners are also tested and treated if necessary. We can provide counseling and guidance on partner notification and management as part of your comprehensive care.

Our providers will emphasize the importance of completing the full course of antibiotics, even if your symptoms improve before you finish the medication. We also recommend abstaining from sexual activity until both you and your partner(s) have completed therapy and symptoms have completely resolved.

While most cases resolve with antibiotics, our center is prepared to manage complications such as abscess formation or persistent symptoms. In rare cases, surgical intervention may be required, and our team has the expertise to provide or coordinate advanced treatment options.

If you suspect you may have pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), the specialists at The OB-Gyn & Incontinence Center are here to help. Our board-certified gynecologists have extensive experience diagnosing and treating PID, a serious infection of the female reproductive organs most often caused by sexually transmitted bacteria. Left untreated, PID can lead to complications such as chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and abscesses.

At The OB-Gyn & Incontinence Center, we use advanced diagnostic tools—including pelvic exams, vaginal swabs, and ultrasounds—to accurately identify PID and its severity. Our team will develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include antibiotics or, in severe cases, hospitalization to ensure your recovery. We also provide comprehensive education on PID prevention and management of any long-term effects, such as pelvic pain or reproductive health concerns.

Prompt treatment is critical to protect your reproductive health. If you are experiencing symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, fever, or discomfort during intercourse, schedule an appointment with The OB-Gyn & Incontinence Center as soon as possible. Your health and well-being are our top priority.

Pelvic infections, if left untreated, can lead to serious long-term health complications. One of the most concerning outcomes is the development of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can cause chronic pain, scarring, and damage to the reproductive organs. In severe cases, PID may lead to infertility by affecting the fallopian tubes, making it difficult for an egg to reach the uterus. This is particularly concerning for women who wish to have children in the future.

Additionally, pelvic infections can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancies, where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, typically in the fallopian tubes. This condition is life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Prompt treatment of pelvic infections is essential to prevent these potential complications and protect long-term reproductive health. Early diagnosis and proper care can significantly reduce the risk of long-term issues, ensuring better outcomes for those affected.
