A Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is a severe complication of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Per a Mayo Clinic definition, PID most often occurs when sexually transmitted bacteria is spread from the vagina to the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries. A TOA occurs when a collection of pus forms in the reproductive tract.
