Cervix Infection? Is It a Std? Posted: 01-07-05 12:05pm
Went to doctor yesterday from my normal
pain I get every month( which was
different because it had been hurting to
have sex and both my ovaries were hurting
severely.... I think from a cyst but
thats a whole other discussion, anyways
the doc told me that I have an infection
on my cervix. I asked him how I got it
and he said "how do you get an infection
in your intestines?" so, I left and thoght
I knew what I should but read up and
everything is saying std. Im married with
a 2year old.

Your Cervix Problem Posted: 01-14-05 13:08pm
Well, from all of my research (which has
been extensive latley) it sounds like
pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) which
can be caused by an std bacteria
(generally chlamydia or gonnorhea).
However I have read that some other non
std bacteria could cause pid as well but
less common.
Dr's won't tell you how you caught this
stuff if you are married and they suspect
it's an std because they don't want to be
responsible for saying someone's partner
is not faithful. They leave it to you to
come to your own conclusions.

Ok-now im getting it.So, it could be an
std but not necissarily and the reason
they wont tell me how I caught it is
because of my marriage. Well, all in all
this sucks. I thank you very much for
tying to explain this to me. Are you in
the same boat as me? I do have to say
though, that my pain is worse than some
infection and ive been to the er and
through 2 ultrasounds this week. Im
wondering if the infection could be from
whats going on down there. Thank you
again. No one was telling me anything-not
even doctors. It was very frustrating and
is very scary to say the least.

Cervix Problems Posted: 01-14-05 17:20pm
Yes, I am kind of in the same boat I have
std symptoms as well, but they cannot find
an std or bacteria. I am a male that had
epididymitis and they won't say how I
could have caught it, they said "the same
way you get a cold or any other bacteria"
sound familiar? Antibiotics cleared it
up, but it took several tries over several
months. Now I have other symptoms that
are std symptoms, but they cannot find any
bacteria either.
My sister is a nurse for an obgyn and she
told me that they won't tell me how I got
it because of the marriage that is how I
know that part. She said they see it all
the time, the dr knows someone is cheating
on someone, but can't get in the middle of
it for legal reasons and since they can't
find the exact bacteria they can't say
it's an std.

I've Tried That Posted: 01-15-05 08:51am
Yep, i've tried that, but since they can't
actually find any bacteria they won't tell
me it was caused by an std or that I have
an std. I like you had a symptom
(epididymitis) that is usually, but not
always caused by std bacteria so they
won't say I actually have one and
therefore, I don't know that I do. Which
is also why I can't really accuse my wife
of anything.

This sucks. My meda are all gone and last
week I got an ultrasound done to see what
the rest of my abdominal pain is from.
Suppose to get the results yesterday but
ofcourse I didnt. I will be calling
today- alot. Its just so sad that there
are so many kinds of stds and well the
scary part is if it is an std then what?
Ive never been unfaithful to my husband
and he says that he hasnt either but if
you infact have an std then how did it get
there? Dont you feel the way I do..That
it has put a mistrust in your heart that
even though they have said "no, I havent"
then......You know?

There are other ways to contract std's
other than sex... Rare as they are.

Yes it sucks, but what's even worse at
least in my situation and sounds like in
yours, they cannot detect an std, but we
have some of the symptoms. Yes, it makes
you wonder how it could happen. I have
read other peoples posts on here that have
the same type of problems I have, symptoms
keep reappearing, but all tests come up
negative. In my case my spouse has no
symptoms and has tested negative for std's
as well.
Has your spouse been tested for std's?

Well, sorry, but ya'll need different
doctors. Regardless of whether or not
you are married, a normal doctor will tell
you what you "have" now, if they can't
find a bacteria or std, or whatever, then
I am sure they are telling you the truth.
Why would they risk their medical license
to save your marriage? No, that just
isn't going to happen.
There also are certain types of infections
down there caused just by normal bacteria.
They aren't std's, just viruses, or
bacterial infections. I once got an
infection from taking baths at my
apartment complex. There was some kind
of bacteria in the water that caused it
and it was the strangest thing I ever
experienced.
But, if you are having constant problems
with these "infections" then go see a
different doctor.

Diagnosed Wrong Posted: 06-11-05 19:54pm
I was diagnosed with pid for I think 3 yrs
everytime I went back to the doctor they
would say oh pid again ... I never had
any positive tests for an std.. Finally I
got a second opinion and guess what it was
ibs irritable bowel syndrome nothing close
to an std and I had to put my bf through
all this with me!! The last doctor I saw
said that alot of times doctors will just
say the first thing that comes to mind...
If you dont think it is possible for you
to have an std get tested for them all
before you begin to get upset it will save
you alot of stress.
