I'd wonder if this is PID if everything is coming back negative. I'd think ovarian cysts, endometriosis, etc., are more likely. Has she had an ultrasound or anything?

Yes, ultrasound has shown she also has PCOS, but her consultant seemed pretty convinced about PID based on appearance of tubes at laparoscopy. Can endometriosis give similar appearance? Thanks again for advice
Yes, I was diagnosed with PID many years ago, because everything was red and inflamed during a lap. I took all the meds, etc., then some time later, it came back. I had another lap, and they found a cyst on my ovary, and said it was from that.
Then it came back (and I had pain in between, just not as bad), and I had another lap, and they finally found endometriosis. My doctor then said maybe I never had PID, and instead it was all inflamed from a cyst or endo.
I wish her the best of luck - its not always easy getting this diagnosed, if this is what she has, and it can even be missed during a lap if they aren't looking for it.
I'd recommend checking the endometriosis association's website.
