Hi i was just wondering if there are any PID (Pelvic inflammatory disease) sufferers out there.
I was diagnosed with PID mid last year. I went to a dr as i was suffering servre lower abdo pain after a ulstrasound the Dr couldnt see anything amiss, but was very concerned about the pain i was in he felt my tummy and decided that i should go staight to hospital for fear of apendicitis, after bloods being done that was ruled out so they did an internal exam and concluded that it was PID. I was not told much about PID by them. I went home and researched it on the net to find that it is most commonly caused by an STD chlamydia.....i knew i didnt have chlamydia has i had had a STD check 6 mths previous and had no new sexual partners since then, so after more reading i found that PID can be a result of C-section and child Birth. i had had a C-section in 2003.........so from what i can figure thats how i got PID.
I was given anti-biotics and the PID cleared up. then in october last year i found out i was pregnant. at about 12 weeks i lost the baby ....in hindsight i think that most likley was due to the damage PID has done to me.
i had been fine up until the last couple of weeks, it seems as tho it has come back with a vengence. so ill be off to the dr in the next few days.
Sorry about the epic.
Im scared for my reproductive feature......iam 23 so still have many child-bearing years ahead. not that im interested right now, but maybe in the feature.
If you got this far thanks for reading my story.
Please feel free to add yours.
