It has one purpose and focuses on doing it well. It has numerous features that ease the task of adding a controller and tuning the control loop.
When severe, PID might cause fever, chills, severe lower abdominal or pelvic pain — especially during a pelvic exam — and bowel discomfort.When to see a doctorSee your doctor or seek urgent medical care if you experience:.Severe pain low in your abdomen.Nausea and vomiting, with an inability to keep anything down.Fever, with a temperature higher than 101 F (38.3 C).Foul vaginal dischargeIf your signs and symptoms persist but aren't severe, see your doctor as soon as possible.
