Pelvic pain, pain with s*x, irregular bleeding, and fertility challenges can point to either endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease, and it is common for both to be considered when these symptoms show up.
What matters is that these two conditions have very different causes and require very different treatments. Understanding the distinction is an important step toward getting the right care.
Pelvic floor physical therapy plays a role in managing symptoms for both, whether that means addressing pain and muscle tension after PID has cleared, or supporting endometriosis care before and after surgery. If you have questions about how PT fits into your situation, we are happy to help.
Endometriosis and PID share many symptoms but have different causes and treatments. Learn how to tell them apart and where pelvic floor PT fits into care.
