We did a study in which we
looked at women who had recognized PID, who were symptomatic, and unrecognized PID, women
who either had or had partners with Gonorrhea or Chlamydia but didn’t come in
complaining of symptoms but had an endometrial biopsy done anyway. We compared
endometritis in the two groups. What we argued was that to the degree that hormonal
contraception was more likely in the unrecognized PID group, what might be going was that
for whatever reason the hormonal contraception actually reduced the symptomotology, or the
clinical recognition, and therefore we could then understand the data that’s out there
in the literature in its entirety. |
