Q: PID caused by Cervical Cancer?

Hello I should add some background information.

I just recently been diagnosed with Cervicitis and PID

No STDS caused it, eventhough I am on the antibiotics used for Gonehrriah and Clymida. Just to get rid of the infection.

I am embarassed to be on such drugs and to have this disorder. There has only been one partner and he is my true eternal flame. We are monogamous and actually abstained for the first three years of our relationship until he had his vasectomy and was one hundred percent cleared. So this past year up until now all sexual things have been with him and him with me. I hate telling this to doctors because they don't believe.
So of course no surprise to both tests that could cause it that read negative:
Eptopic Pregnancy
STD

So another thing that scares me. She took lots of culters from my vagina three and reviewed them and sent them off. No vaginal Bacteria that caused it either.

I am so baffled, and I read Cervical Cancer is the other option that causes PID or maybe I don't have PID but Cervical Cancer.

Which painfully makes sense in my sceniro.

I have heard of people getting Cervical Cancer with no STD linked to it.

Female cancers also run highly in my family.

I keep thinking if I got this cancer is it my weight??

I am obese and need to loose one hundred and ten pounds

I do get my periods however, they are not normal periods but never have been most of my life. Irregular periods is the term for it.

I have also been diagnosed with Endometriosis at 16 and POS

POS because of weight.

My symptoms: Horrible cramping
Heavy bleeding I am on my period right now ,it is horrible the worst I have gone throug so many pads and had to put down towels. It is also been the longest.
Nauseau
Vomitting stopped a couple of days ago.

I have been to the emergency and just said keep taking the antibiotic and I don't have anythng threatning.

They did a pelvic ultrasound and just saw retaining fluid in my uterus.


Pain when having intercourse so stopped of course also when diagnosed with PID

I haven't had a pap smear in a year and a half. Which is strange since I used to do them almost all the time. Also had been to the doctor and gyno so much.

But they never did one because of other health problems so they didn't give it much thought.

It wasn't until my Primary care suggested me getting a pap smear to rule out anything cancerous with the cervix since the other reasons for PID were ruled out.

So I have to wait for the infection to clear and the period to go away before she can do a pap smear and have it be acurate which makes sense.

Thursday I have my Pap smear my infection for Cervicitis, PID whichever one will have been taken care of with the antibiotics

And my period will have stopped.

I am nervous particulary about this pap smear becasue of the possibility of cervical cancer.

I am very nervous

sorry for writing an epic novel on my female parts. I am a writer so I guess writing forever is natural.

Lisa, I have been exactly in your boat. Had PID twice (once last year and once this year) and every STD test showed up negative in me and my monogamous partner of 5 years. I've been treated with doxy, and it's quite a mystery that everything, including pap, has turned out negative. We have no STD's. Last time, my partner wasn't treated, but this time I think we may treat him. It is possible that other bacteria, either already natural in the vaginal area, or something the partner is a carrier of, may have caused it. I am also embarrassed to be in this condition, where I am monogamous and take care of myself. My partner was also so sad I had to deal with this. The most common cases of PID start with an STD and I know neither of us has one. It is all quite confusing. I feel bad because now I will have to force my significant other to take doxy, to kill whatever bacteria in both of us has been causing this for me. I know mine wasn't caused by and STD, but not one can explain to me why. I think the human body is just mysterious sometimes. I do think a lot of different things can cause swelling in the vaginal area. I also think I am super sensitive to bacteria, since I've been treated for UTI and Kidney infections before. The other catch to this, is that I haven't even had intercourse of any kind for two months (as my boyfriend is out of town), and just got PID. Who knows what's going on. Hope you feel better.

PID could have been with you for a while and could just now be detected.. even tho it is hard to determine, if you have a good gyno it helps. for a year i've had the same problems constntly swollen, cramps , lower back pain worst periods, painful intercourse, discharge that every doc told me looked like yeast infection discharge, and now finally here i am a year later i now know i have PID after mis diagnoses and treated for stupid minor infections that i never had cause every doctor was to lazy to look further into my problem, until a few days ago one decided to do her job finally and i am now on anti biotics, i may need to be hospitalized and given antibiotics intrevienously since i've been carrying this around for so long it will prolly be pretty stubborn. i'm scared but more angry then anything at the doctors, see i saw my records and a year ago around this time my records show bacterial infection and no yeast yet they have been treating me for a yeast infection this whole time, so very quickly due to not having proper treatment the infection spread and went up into my uterus and god knows where else. so you do not have to have an std to get this, i don't. i was diagnosed with hpv but thats it and very common and i know that causes cervical cancer if not watched, and now i'm hearing from you girls that cervical cancer can cause PID!? o boy we girls are a mess, don't you love how men can carry all these things and never be effected by it, What a pleasure that must be. well good luck girls thanks for listening i'll keep you updated.
