How is pelvic inflammatory disease treated?

In the acute phase, appropriate antibiotics are likely to cure the illness. In the early stages the antibiotics can be taken by mouth. In more severe situations, admission to hospital and intravenous antibiotics may be indicated. On occasion, acute infection may be severe enough to produce a pelvic abscess, which may require surgery to drain the pus.
