## Caption

There is no exact fixed timeframe for the development of complications from STIs and if experienced, may vary between individuals.

Early detection and treatment of STIs is really important and this reduces the risk of complications. 

Pelvic inflammatory disease, also called "PID," is an infection that affects the reproductive system including 

* The uterus, the organ that holds a baby during pregnancy

*The ovaries, the organs that release eggs

*The fallopian tubes, which connect the ovaries to the uterus

PID is most commonly caused by infections that are spread through S3x (Chlamydia and gonorrhea are 2 of the most common infections).

Without treatment, it can also cause scars to form on the fallopian tubes. 

This can make it hard to get pregnant or cause problems if you do get pregnant.
