Signs Of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

Fever And Chills

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a serious disease that infects the entire reproductive system. Patients can become physically ill and suffer from fever and chills caused by the onset of the infection. Women experience abdominal bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting as well. When a patient has a fever, their body temperature will be above the normal 98.7 degrees considered medically acceptable. A fever is typically 100.4 degrees or higher and can be dangerous. On the other hand, chills are a cold sensation in the body that brings on quivering and shaking. They can go away quickly or be prolonged depending on how long the infection has been going on.
