Hi doctor, I have recently been tested positive for Chlamydia, which I believe to have contracted around 3.5 years ago. In the past one year, I have been to the doctor for the following symptoms. Increased menstrual pain, dull pain during ovulation, yellow discharge, sickness during menses and one-sided pain for a few days after the menses. At that time, I was given medication to ease the blood flow and pain. However, now I have been tested positive for Chlamydia. Due to the fact that I must have had it for three to four years with no symptoms until the last year, I believe it has developed into PID. I am taking a course of Doxycycline 100 mg and Metronidazole 400 mg twice daily for 2 weeks which my GP gave me. However, he does not believe I have PID. I am going on a holiday next week and will be exposed to sunlight a lot. Should I hold off taking the antibiotics during this time? What are the chances I have PID? I am worried about scarring of the fallopian tubes and infertility. Would an ultrasound detect scarring if any?
