Hi, I was diagnosed with PID last year after being admitted to hospital with sepsis. Before I was admitted My symptoms were abdominal pain, pain with sex and bleeding after sex. All these symtoms are now back but have had blood tests etc and no signs of infection. When I was admitted with sepsis all my bloods still showed no signs of infection. What should I do?
Hi there, PID means pelvic inflammatory disease, and it could be the inflammation of the fallopian tube along with the uterus and also the inside of the abdominal cavity. Infection causes inflammation and when it heals with the help of antibiotics or on its own it leaves behind scarring or in this case adhesions which may occur between the different organs present in the lower pelvic region. These adhesions cause pain whenever the organs are moved due to having sex or any manipulation of the external genital organ. The bleeding post sex need s to be evaluated with the help of a PAP smear exam to rule out any cervical pathology. You may visit your gun and get yourself evaluated with the help of an ultrasound to rule out any other pathology. If there are adhesions they need to be freed which can usually be done microscopically or by open surgery if required. Do get yourself evaluated. Take care.
