Abstract
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional, descriptive study 1104 women with pelvic inflammatory disease were assessed from May 2010 to March 2011. The data were gathered by a questionnaire.
Results: Among the studied women 82.34% were married and 49.37% were 20-30 years old. Of them 54.89% had their first sexual encounter between the ages of 15-20 years old. 98.10% had only one sexual partner and 75.54% had not had any new sexual partner one year before the beginning of study. In 90.22%of cases their spouse had no other sexual partner as well. The number of women experiencing two to three intercourses per week was high (49.37%). Also, 48.46% had one or two previous pregnancies. The most common contraception method was condom (31.06%). Among them, 70.65% had high school diploma or less degrees and 87.04% were in low to middle socio-economic status.
Conclusion: Pelvic inflammatory disease is more common in married Iranian women aged 20 to 30 years old who have had their first sexual encounter before the age of 20 years old.
