Answer:

Chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a clinical syndrome caused by various microorganisms, which occurs due to the entry of infectious agents through the vagina into the internal sex organs, reaching the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries, causing inflammation. This condition occurs mainly when gonorrhea and chlamydia infection are not treated.

This infection can occur through contact with bacteria after unprotected sex. Most cases occur in women who have another STI, especially untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia infection.
