Could I still have Pelvic Inflammatory disease after being diagnosed with chlamydia?

Question

SO I have been having pelvic pain for a year and I've been going to my doctor but she never tested me for chlamydia until recently. I have been dating the same guy for a year and he had sexual partners before me, one who had the disease. I had the pain for a year and when I went to my doctor and I got the test I found out that I did have chlamydia, but they didn't mention anything on having Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, even though I have the symptoms for it, and after I took the medication to get rid of the chlamydia yesterday I am still having the pelvic pain today. Does it take a while for the pain to go away? or did my doctor just neglect to tell me I had PID?

Answer 1

I would get a second opinion.  Why did it take you doctor so long to test you for other diseases?  Also, being that you just finish taking the Medication to treat chlamydia yesterday, I would give it until Monday to see if the pain goes away, If not make a appointment with another doctor.

Answer 2

i just found out that i had chlamydia too,  same exact thing happened to me, ive had plenty of paps, in the past year,  and they just now tell me that i have chlamydia too,  i would deff say get another opinion, or change doctors, and hope for the best,

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a general term that refers to infection of the uterus (womb), fallopian tubes (tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus) and other reproductive organs. It is a common and serious complication of some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), especially chlamydia and gonorrhea. PID can damage the fallopian tubes and tissues in and near the uterus and ovaries. PID can lead to serious consequences including infertility, ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy in the fallopian tube or elsewhere outside of the womb), abscess formation, and chronic pelvic pain.

Symptoms of PID vary from none to severe. When PID is caused by chlamydial infection, a woman may experience mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, while serious damage is being done to her reproductive organs. Because of vague symptoms, PID goes unrecognized by women and their health care providers about two thirds of the time. Women who have symptoms of PID most commonly have lower abdominal pain. Other signs and symptoms include fever, unusual vaginal discharge that may have a foul odor, painful intercourse, painful urination, irregular menstrual bleeding, and pain in the right upper abdomen (rare).
