Question

A woman with a history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is experiencing infertility.  Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of her infertility related to PID?

T HARITHA · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: B
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and Infertility
 **Related Topics**: Female reproductive anatomy, fallopian tubes, infertility causes, inflammation
 **Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of female reproductive system and the role of fallopian tubes in fertilization.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  A woman has a history of PID and is infertile.
  We need to identify the MOST likely cause of infertility related to PID.
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Understand PID:
  Reasoning: PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs, most commonly caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
  Formula/Rule: N/A
 2. Identify the impact of PID on fertility:
  Working: The infection in PID can cause inflammation and scarring of the fallopian tubes, blocking them and preventing the passage of eggs and sperm.
  Key Point:  While other options can cause infertility, blockage of the fallopian tubes is the most direct and common consequence of PID.
 3. Analyze the options:
  Result: Blockage of the fallopian tubes (Option B) is the most likely cause of infertility in a woman with a history of PID.
  Verification:  The other options are less likely to be directly caused by PID. Premature ovarian failure is a separate condition. Uterine fibroids can cause infertility but are not a direct consequence of PID. Immunological rejection is involved in some infertility cases but is not the primary mechanism associated with PID.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: Premature ovarian failure: This is a separate condition unrelated to PID, although both can lead to infertility.
B ✓: Blockage of the fallopian tubes:  PID frequently causes scarring and inflammation of the fallopian tubes, leading to tubal blockage and infertility. This is the most direct and common link between PID and infertility.
C :x: Uterine fibroids: Fibroids can cause infertility, but they are not a direct consequence of PID.
D :x: Immunological rejection of the embryo: While immunological issues can cause infertility, they are not the primary mechanism related to PID.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Selecting other options without considering the direct link between PID and fallopian tube damage:  Students may choose other causes of infertility without focusing on the most common consequence of PID.
  2.Overlooking the inflammatory nature of PID:  Understanding that PID causes inflammation and scarring is key to understanding its impact on the fallopian tubes.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Remember that PID primarily affects the fallopian tubes.
  2.Associate PID with scarring and blockage of the fallopian tubes leading to infertility.
