Pelvic actinomycosis: a review and preliminary look at prevalence

Article Abstract:

Actinomyces is a normal component of the female genital tract and do not necessarily indicate that a woman has pelvic actinomycosis. Pelvic actinomycosis is a fungal infection caused by an organism called Actinomyces. Studies have shown that many women have Actinomyces in their genital tract, even women who are not using an IUD. Even when the organism is found in women with an IUD, it does not necessarily mean she has actinomycosis. Consequently, there is no need to remove the IUD in the absence of infection. Most women probably don't even need to be treated.
