If there seems to be confusion and you are uncomfortable with your present doctor, please seek a second opinion. PID can affect one side but this is seen in women with IUDs. PID is rarely if ever seen in one not sexually active. the one exception is inflammation from the appendix causing unilateral PID on the right side involving the tube and ovary.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
