Can the bacteria in uti cause pid or
pelvic inflammatory disease? After having
laparoscopy very recently, I was diagnosed
of having evidence of pid. But how did I
get it?, the possible causes of pid
doesn't apply in my lifestyle as I did not
had std, nor multiply partners, i'm very
cautious in using toilets.
Some months ago, my husband was having
difficulty in urinating and in some
occasion it had traces of blood (urine is
somehow reddish in color). I am very
confident that my husband does not have
outside sexual relation, so my guess is
that the problem could be caused by uti
though it is still yet to confirm as he
does not like to go to doctors (not only
in this issue but whatever help issue from
stomach pain to dental, he dosn't like or
lazy to see doctors).
If not from uti, wherelse did I get my
pid?
I'm so confussed. I'll be grateful to
hear from you...

Sounds like possible lack of sterile
procedure either during or after the
laparoscopy or possibly it entered through
say kidney or vaginal or urinary tract
infection - certainly some of these could
have been thanks to your husband having an
infection (doesn't have to be due to sex
with another person).
I suggest you insist on blood & urine
tests for all possible causes & x-rays
etc if the pain is that bad or if there
are other symptoms.

sorry to hear that you have been suffering
same as I am at moment.
As far as I know, yes a urine infection,
if not treated properly, can cause p.I.D.
The bacteria travel higher up the
genital tract and can effect the ovaries,
uterus and fallopian tubes and even bowel,
etc.
I am 41 yrs old and only sexually active
with husband. We hv both been tested for
std (which apparently is routine) and are
both negative.
I suspect that mine is from a i.U.D (coil)
that I had for two years. I was fine
prior to this. I had a lap feb 03 which
showed lots of scar tissue and adhesions
and also acute inflammation but no endo.
I have had many courses of anti-biotics
which helped to a degree but symptoms have
always returned.
Having another lap 16th aug, and if pelvis
is same as before with acute inflammation
and no sign of endo. I may decide to have
a hysterectomy, as I am totally fed up and
now want my life back.
When you had your lap did the gynae take a
biopsy to see what had caused the
infection? This is what I am having done
this time.
