internal yeast infection and PID Posted: 01-27-08 18:17pm
I am married, faithful,31,2 kids, 110 lbs,
5 5", active and eat healthy.I have had
lower back pain that is getting
increasingly worse for the past 6 mnths.I
equated it to picking up my 4 yr old daily
who is 50 lbs.During mid cycle especially
and throughout cycle I have a dull crampy
ache between my hip area accompanied by
thick white discharge, sometimes creamy,
sometimes like a plug before giving
birth.I equated that to ovulating as well
as I did that my vaginal area would become
very full looking and well, ugly like it
was engorged but not painful and turn
purplish.I also had 2 UTI's that went away
on it's own last month rather quickly.I
went to dr for the back pain, my last pap
was in 06 so I got a pap just to be
current.Dr said I have a pretty bad
internal yeast infection(no itchy,no
cottage cheese,no soreness) and she also
said I have PID.She gave me a shot in the
rear of antobiotic.Dyoxycycline & Flanyx &
a script to get an ultrasound to r/o
abcessed ovaries.OK, what the heck is
going on?My husband swears he's faithful
and though she reassured me I can have it
from bacteria, she thinks the test will
show chlamydia.None of this is sitting
well.Can this be something else.My pelvic
feels like a water balloon is in there to
the touch but no real noticeable
distension and no real obvious cervical
tenderness and no bleeding between
cycles.Periods are 5-8 days long but
that's norm for me, unfortunately.Any
ideas or does PID sound right?

I had PID, and it was NOT from an STD or
unfaithfulness.
Bacterial vaginosis is very common in
women. Our natural bacteria can become
unbalanced with bad bacteria, and these
can come from our own hands touching
ourselves.
MY PID developed from BV that was left
untreated. I get BV frequently, and that
time I did not have the symptoms that I
had before.
MY OBGYN suspected Chlamydia, and of
course it came back negative.

Ok, that's good news about the it not
having to be from an std. But if it's not
too personal can you please tell me what
your symptoms were? I would so appreciate
it.

MY CASE IS THE SAME. I HAVE PID AND I AM
FAITHFUL TO MY HUSBAND AND HE ALSO SWEARS
HE HAS NOT HAD SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH
ANYBODY ELSE OTHER THAN ME. I BELIEVE HIM
BECAUSE A WOMAN CAN TELL WHEN THERE IS
INFIDELITY, ANYWAYS THE THING IS I HAVE
PID AND I DON'T THINK IT HAS TO BE BY AN
STD. I GAVE BIRTH 2 MONTHS AGO AND I HAD A
BACTERIA BEFORE GIVING BIRTH WHICH GOT
TREATED AND I READ THAT IT MAY BE FROM
THAT ALSO BECAUSE MY SYMPTOMS STARTED
ABOUT A MONTH AFTER GIVING BIRTH. I AM
GLAD IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY COME FROM AN
STD.

PID isn't always from an STD!!!! Posted: 10-04-08 20:28pm
I've had PID a few times. It's from an
infection left untreated!!!!!! I ususally
get it from a yeast infection that I
stupidly let go too long, not an STD. You
even said you had 2 UTI's left untreated.
It wasn't two, it was one!! Symptoms went
away once, and came back, went away
again.... infection traveled upwards and
now you got PID. That's the deal.
