i just thought i would share my experience in the hope that it may help someone.

I had the following symptoms for months and my dr was having trouble discovering its cause: cramping, lower back pain, swollen/tender breasts, a discharge that would come and go, frequent urination, bloating, extreme fatigue and during my period about 3/4 before and after i was experiencing dizziness, headaches, sever cramping. Oh and on 2 occasions i experience bad cramps after sex.

I was tested for every STD imaginable (blood tests, urine test, vaginal swabs) - my dr was convinced it must of been clamydia or trich. It wasn't till my Dr decided to do more vaginal swabs and send them to a different lab that they picked up that i had Group B strep infection (kinda like Bacterial Vagninosis - but usually not a problem in healthy adults). i was treated for this but it did not go away. So i had more tests and they discovered the strep infection had caused Pelvic inflammatory disease (in my uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes - which suggest i had this for some time)

Alot of these symptoms listed by people above are clearly similar to those that i was experiencing because of PID. I would really urge you to be persistant in getting a diagnosis - it took me several months and was beyond frustrating. However with 2 weeks worth of anti biotics i got rid of all of the above symtoms making it well worth the hassle.

I have the exact same symptoms, although I also have random rashes on my arms, neck and around my eyes...I've already been prescribed drugs for a bladder infection, but they aren't doing anything (as well as a yeast infection...and the drugs still aren't working). I'm starting to worry it is an STD or cervical cancer. I'm going to emergency today in hopes of finding out what it is. :(.

i am sexually active. i have been on birth control for over 6 months. i stopped because i did't want. i didn't get my period for 2 months after i stopped birth control then i got it and just now in the month of may i didn't get it. when i was not on birth control before my period always came late so i'm giving it some time. But today while me and my boyfriend were having intercourse my lower stomach started to hurt really bad and it felt like it was pushing on my stomach and hips. now two hours later it still hurts and even more and has spread to the whole stomach. it keeps growling in different places in my stomach. what is going on. it really hurts.

Hi,

I am 20 yrs old. I constantly suffer bloating, period pains, dizziness, urinating every 20minutes, fatigue, nausea throughout the day and sore breasts (The pain in my breasts has worsened in the last two weeks), and my left nipple has been itchy for about two months, weird i know. I am sexually active and find that it hurts when my partner and i have intercourse. This pain ranges from a stinging, to a muscular pain where it feels like he is pushing on my stomach. It is almost unbearable. I have taken several pregnancy tests and am not pregnant.

I last had a pap smear a year ago by a hopeless doctor. He told me i had a cyst, only when i asked if i had one. He is known around here to be quite hopeless. I am terrified of the prospect of getting another one.

Does anybody know what could be wrong with me? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks
