HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) is infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Chlamydia is one of the bacteria that is associated with causing PID. If you had PID due to chlamydia , then using the medication given for the chlamydia would have treated the PID.
The swabs would have tested for the bacteria that could cause PID or other genital infections.
I hope this helps
