Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
As I understand you are worried about your fertility .there are so many infectious causes of PID and it is not always necessary that PID causes infertility but presistant infection for months with some organism may leads to infertility .
presently in your case i dont feel that you will be suffer from infertility in 1 month infection .
However I would like to know that what investigation you have undergone to diagnosed PID and what treatment you have taken .
If you didnt undergo any investigation I would like to suggest you following investigation :
1.USG abdomen .2.Gram stain and fungal stain of vaginal discharge ,if discharge is not present than for vaginal swab can be taken .3.Blood ELISA for TORCH test .
review me after



hope you are satisfied with my answer . feel free to communicate if any query .
