Feedback:
A woman who has had PID is more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy (a fertilized egg that implants in the fallopian tubes rather than the uterus). An ectopic pregnancy is likely to cause rupture of the fallopian tubes, which results in life-threatening hemorrhage. Birth defects are not related to PID. Sepsis is a multiorgan failure related to infections, such as toxic shock syndrome.
