There are different levels of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Some are very mild, and some are severe, with more systemic, long-term, chronic pain. You don’t need to be diagnosed with PID to have it.
The mildest forms of PID are overactive bladder with occasional urinary tract infections (UTIs) and pelvic discomfort that may be difficult to distinguish from gastric or intestinal bloating or discomfort.
Often women with PID also struggle with recurrences of UTIs, vaginal discharge, bacterial vaginosis, or chronic yeast infections because they are all strep-caused as well.
The parallel experience for men is prostatitis, which is also caused by low-grade, chronic strep infection or an acute strep infection.
When someone has prostatitis or PID, they usually have strep in their lower colon too, leading to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) at the same time, because IBS is also a result of low-grade, chronic strep.
