I've been having pains in my ovaries and uterus for a few months now, plus discharge and some bleeding between periods so doc sent me for a scan which i had nearly 4 weeks ago and am still waiting for the results, and he also asked me to get some swabs done but everytime i made a appt there was always some reason why nurse couldn't do them. Anyway for the last 2 and a half weeks i've been off work sick with pains in my ovaries and uterus and going dizzy as well as other symptoms but the docs kept saying they though it was other things like ibs (which i suffer from) or a water infection and have kept telling me not to worry about my womens bits i think they thought i was getting a bit obcessed but its my body and i know where the pain is! anyway last night pain was worst its ever been i didn't sleep a wink and if i could have got to A + E i probably would have gone so i went back to docs today and saw a different doc i again told him my symptoms and he said straight away it sounds like pelvic inflamatory disease(PID) and that he would do some swabs there and then, so he did swabs and had a look, he said my cervix looks ok but i was a bit inflammed and sore and i did have some discharge while he was taking swabs so he was quite sure it was PID, he has signed me off work for another 2 weeks and given me 2 different antibiotics to take for 2 weeks, i've also to refrain from sex till i'm sorted and i've to ring in a week for the results and go back in 2 weeks to see if treatment has worked. So i've come home and googled it and apparantly PID is more
common in people who have a untreated STI, now i trust my hubby 100% and know he would never be unfaithful and in fact for the last 18 months i have know where he is every minute of the day, but what worries me is that 11 and a half years ago before we got together i was seeing someone else and i'll admit i was young and stupid and although we only slept together a few times we didn't use protection and obviously now i'm more mature i realise it only needs to be the one time of having unprotected sex to catch a STI! i'm so annoyed with myself, i know i don't know for sure yet until i get the results and there is a chance i 've just got a non-STI related infection that has caused the PID but i can't help thinking how stupid i was, i even googled whether STI's could lay dormant for 11-12 years and they can so now i feel even worse, i've sat and cried all afternoon, i feel so ill and am in so much pain and it could all be my own stupid fault.
Has anyone else ever suffered from PID? any advice will be most welcome x
