Cervical infection
Hi Drs..
I'm a 27 year old female. I have a steady boyfriend for a year. We have been having unprotected sex but have been exclusive at least on my side.
I recently felt dull&severe abdominal pain, abnormal discharge, and bleeding from vagina (spotting) and went to see a doctor. When she touched my cervix and womb (but not overies), I felt a lot of pain and she says I have cervical infection. She took cells for a culture test and I'm waiting for the results. I was told to take 100 mg of doxycycline and 500 mg of metronidazole for a week while I'm waiting.
I probably should wait for the results, but I can't stop worring about this.
I read on CDC website that most cervical infection is due to either chlamydia or gonorrhea, and when symptoms show is 1 to 3 weeks after I got the disease. Also, the site says when you feel abdominal pain and bleeding is most likely when your follopian tubes are damaged.
My questions are:
1. Are there any bacteria that causes cervical infection but not sexually transmitted?
2. About a month or two months ago, I also had a positive pap test for the first time of my life and was told that I have HPV (with LSIL after colposcopy, I was told that I have one or two small spots around the cervix but it seems to be healing by itself). I read somewhere that Hpv can also cause cervical infection. Could this be what's really going on?
3. Could chlamydia or gonorrhea stay dormant in my body for months or years and suddenly show symptoms? Or people who don't show symptoms never get symptoms?
4. Since I have abdominal pain and bleeding on top of tenderness of cervix, does this mean that I have a high possibility of having damaged follopian tubes already?
4. I was told to come back to the clinic if I'm not feeling better by tomorrow, which is Friday (I started taking antibiotics on Tuesday night). I think the abdominal pain decreased a bit (could be my illusion), but I'm still bleeding the same. I plan to call in tomorrow to see the doctor again, but could this well mean that I have either resistant strains or it is not caused by bacteria (which might mean it's related to hpv?).
The more I think, the more I get confused, and I know this does not solve anything, but I hope you can help me ease this pain by answering these questions. I know there are a lot of "if" here, and some of them will probably solved when I go to the doctor tomorrow, but I greatly appreciate if you could give me your opinion. Thank you.
