Lower abdominal pain like period cramp, frequent yellow vaginal discharge

[scar_29]

Hi!

Im 27 years old, single, not married and Im suffering an on/off lower abdominal pain together with back pain and fever. And there's a vaginal discharge as well, sometimes odorless and most of the time it has very foul smell. The discharge appearance looks kind like pus, but it's transparent, yellowish and slightly watery, sometimes sticky ( I had to use tissue which I fold in many layer instead of using pad/pantyliners because there's a lot of discharge which is came out frequently and I have to change it once in an 1 or 2 hours ). The cramp which Im having is similar like period cramp, but it goes on/off. No itching vulva/vagina, and no burning sensation when I urinate. I can't hold my urine longer like before. When the urge to pee come, I have to go to the toilet as soon as possible or I will pee in pants.

The last intercourse I had was 3 months back, only once or twice. Even after having sex with the last man, nothing strange happened after that.

I had this kind of sickness 3 years back. I was bleeding frequently (not too much like period blood, but there's a blood discharge, sometimes red and brown ). I cant move at all even to turn around my body while sleeping, the lower abdominal pain was very severe. I became too weak and pale because I bleed non stop for more than a months. 3-4 hospitals which I visited told me different results for that illness. Such as appendicitis, gastrontritis, kidney stone, UTI, STD disease (which is funny because I never had sex with anyone that time ). I tried traditional/alternative medicine, and it really works!

I cant even sit in the car or bus that 'bumping too hard on the road' because I feel pain whenever there's a pressure to my stomach.

Please tell me what is wrong with me? Is this what you call endometritis? Or Pelvic  Inflammatory Disease? Should I do Pap Smear or any lab test for this? I hope anyone can give me advice on this issue. Really appreciate your help.

Hi!

I'm sorry for the delay in response--was very ill for awhile

Your symptoms are classic for pelvic inflammatory disease. (PID).  If I were your doctor, I would do a complete exam (which I would probably not be able to complete due to discomfort) and pap as well as test for gonorrhea and chlamydia.  Obviously I can't make a diagnosis over the computer, but, your symptoms sound very much like gonorrhea/chlamydia.  If it is that a few days of antibiotics and you will be a new woman!
Don't suffer any longer--get a check up! If you don't have any insurance. most counties have a health center that will do free/reduced cost testing for STDs.

Good luck!
