Patient's question:
Recurring lower back and sacral pain appeared again, worsening after exertion. Recently, there has been an increase in leukorrhea, which is slightly yellow and has an odor.Previous Treatment and Outcomes:
Follow-up at a hospital involved a vaginal smear, which showed a degree of cleanliness of 2, with Candida and clue cells present, but no Trichomonas or Candida albicans were observed. A vaginal ultrasound showed no obvious abnormalities in the uterine appendages. The doctor suspected pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Hello, what illness do I have?
Desired Help:
Am I suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease? Is it serious?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the symptoms you described, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is indeed a consideration. PID can be diagnosed with an ultrasound. Since there were no abnormal changes detected in your ultrasound, it is not PID. Alternatively, you could have the ultrasound rechecked at a better hospital. Your routine vaginal discharge test shows a fungal infection, so you need to treat the fungal vaginal inflammation first. You also need to have a colposcopy to examine the condition of your cervix. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
