The authors reported that women with blocked fallopian tubes had lower levels of anti-Mullerian hormone, suggesting a reduced ovarian reserve.[medivizor.com]
CONCLUSION: The presence of gastrointestinal symptomatology, especially bowel dysfunction, in a woman with lower abdominal pain is suggestive of irritable bowel syndrome. However, the history may not be so helpful in detecting gynaecological disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The majority of cases are considered to arise in pregnancy [2] and in patients on oral contraceptives. [3] The infrequency of melasma in post-menopausal women on oestrogen replacement therapy suggests that it alone is not the causative factor, although[ijdvl.com]

Occasionally, dyspareunia or dysuria occurs. Many women with inflammation that is severe enough to cause scarring have minimal or no symptoms.[merckmanuals.com]
More common presentations include acute pelvic pain (of variable intensity), cervical motion tenderness, vaginal discharge, fever, dyspareunia, and leukocytosis. Right upper quadrant pain from perihepatitis in Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is possible.[radiopaedia.org]

Repeated episodes of PID can result in scarring of the Fallopian tubes, which can lead to infertility, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, or chronic (long-term) pelvicpain. Among women who have had PID, 1 in 8 have difficulties getting pregnant.[my.clevelandclinic.org]
Long-term pelvicpain Some women with PID develop long-term (chronic) pain around their pelvis and lower abdomen, which can be difficult to live with and lead to further problems, such as depression and difficulty sleeping (insomnia) .[nhs.uk]
This damage can lead to serious health problems such as infertility (unable to have children) or chronic pelvicpain. Some women may even experience ectopic pregnancies (pregnancies outside of the womb).[bphc.org]
