what is the cause of my lower right abdominal pains

[chrystee]

I was diagnosed with PID 3years ago and i also discovered that i had staphylococcus aureus.I was given some antibiotics in the form of injections and tablets and it was able to treat the PID.I'm sexually active with one partner and he too underwent treatment.Shortly after that i fell pregnant which i havent been able to achieve in 5years though not actively trying to concieve but i had an abortion(which i regret) ever since then,i keep having dull aches at my lower right abdomen.I went for a scan and was told that everything was normal but i had some fluid in my pouch of douglas which indicates an infection or that i had an infection in the past and recommended a HVS which came out clean but the pain is still there,though mild and intermittent it stretches to my lower back.Could this mean that i have an infection,the PID wasnt treated properly and can it be the cause of difficulty in conception because i want to start ttc actively this year?

Here's just a little info. I used to have pain in my ovary areas. Sharp shooting pain thru ovary areas and pulling sensation and cramping in lower abdomen so I went to gyno because the pain kept getting worse. I had also had a PID in the past that was treated with no problems or damage done. But my pain got to the point that if I wasn't sitting down or sleeping I was in major pain but it started out just with ovary pain. After my gyno ruled out anything being wrong in her department I was sent to a gasterointestional and found out i have irritable bowel syndrome which was causing all the pain and had nothing to do with female organs. They said the ovary pain is not the ovaries it is the intestines since they are directly behind the ovaries and most women think it is a gyno problem but movement in intestines can make it feel like all your female organs are hurting. There is a bend in the intestines directly behind each ovary that can cause pain if intestines are irritated. So see your gyno to be safe but remember that just because you have pain in the female areas doesn't mean anything there is wrong. But if you have bathroom problems such as difficulty going like constipation or diarrea or alot of gas pains pretty often it could be something gastero instead of gyno.  Good Luck!!

I agree with thetam. There might be scar tissue there from the PID you had three years ago, and that could be causing the discomfort, but I would definitely check back with your doctor...or better yet, see a specialist (Reproductive Endocrinologist/RE). He or she would be able to not only help you rule out a possible infection, but also give you a better idea of how the PID could affect your fertility. The fact that you did get pregnant once after the PID is definitely a good sign, though! Good luck!
