If the acute infection is not treated or does not respond quickly to antibiotics there may be long-term structural damage leading to chronic pain and infertility. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease may occur from repeated episodes of acute infection or if an acute episode has not been treated or fails to respond to antibiotics. There may be adhesions (scar tissue) tethering the Fallopian tubes and ovaries to surrounding structures. The tubes may become blocked causing infertility (infertility cause). When the Fallopian tubes are blocked at their outer ends, the tubes may fill with fluid (hydrosalpinx). If the pain does not respond to antibiotics, local heat treatment supervised by a physiotherapist may provide symptomatic relief. Occasionally surgery may be required to remove the diseased organs.
