Hii, may nswer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...HiI have lower abdominal pain most to the lower left but also on the right hand side and lower back - I went to the doctors and he said it was tender glands near the pelvic area.. he has given me Metronidazone to help and it doesnt seem to have worked.. this is my 4th day taking them. I have had a smear and vaginal swab done so waiting on results. Is this something to be concerned about?
HI welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Your symptoms are suggestive of pelvic inflammatory disease. Get investigations like Transvaginal ultrasound and Urine culture. You need to start antibiotic course by consulting your gynecologist. Take 3-4 liters of water daily. Maintain Or genital hygiene. Practice safe sex. Also get Culture sensitivity to know the exact organism. Treatment should be initiated immediately or else it leads to complications like Infertility, endometriosis,cysts in the ovary. Consult your gynecologist at the earliest for expert management. Post your further queries if any. Thank you
