Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Symptoms

Even if you have pelvic inflammatory disease, you might not have symptoms. If you do have symptoms, they could be severe. The most common symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease is pain in your lower abdomen. Other symptoms that you may or may not have include

 - Fever
 - Vaginal discharge that may have an odor
 - Painful intercourse
 - Painful urination
 - Irregular menstrual bleeding
 - Pain in the upper right abdomen (rare)

Sometimes pelvic inflammatory disease comes on suddenly with extreme pain and fever, especially if it is caused by gonorrhea.

What are the signs and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease?

Many women don't know they have pelvic inflammatory disease because they don't have any symptoms. For women who have them, symptoms can range from mild to severe. The most common symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease is pain in your lower abdomen (stomach area). Other symptoms include:

- Fever (100.4°F or higher)

- Vaginal discharge that may smell foul

- Painful sex

- Painful urination

- Irregular periods (monthly bleeding)

- Pain in the upper right abdomen

Pelvic inflammatory disease can come on fast with extreme pain and fever, especially if it's caused by gonorrhea.

How to diagnose pelvic inflammatory disease

If you think that you may have pelvic inflammatory disease, see a doctor right away. If you have pain in your lower abdomen (stomach area), your doctor will perform a physical exam. This will include a pelvic (internal) exam. Your doctor will check for:

- Abnormal discharge from your vagina or cervix

- Lumps called abscesses near your ovaries and tubes

- Tenderness or pain in your pelvic organs

Your doctor will also test you for STIs, including HIV and syphilis (SI-fuh-luhs), urinary tract infection, and if needed, pregnancy. If needed, your doctor may do other tests.

- Ultrasound (sonogram) — a test that uses sound waves to take pictures of the pelvic area.

- Endometrial (en-duh-MEE-tree-uhl) (uterine) biopsy — the doctor removes and tests a small piece of the endometrium (the inside lining of the womb).

- Laparoscopy (lap-uh-RAHS-kuh-pee) — the doctor inserts a small, lighted tube through your abdomen (stomach area) to look at your pelvic organs.

These tests will help your doctor find out if you have pelvic inflammatory disease, or if you have a different problem that looks like pelvic inflammatory disease.

Pleuritis The most common way that lupus can affect your lungs is through inflammation of the pleura, the lining that covers the outside of the lungs. The symptom of pleuritis that you may experience is severe, often sharp, stabbing pain in a specific area or areas of your chest. The pain, which is called pleurisy, is made worse when you take a deep breath, cough, sneeze, or laugh. You may also experience shortness of breath. Sometimes an abnormal amount of fluid will build up in the space between your lungs and your chest wall; when it leaks out it is called a pleural effusion. Pain from pleurisy, with or without effusions, is found in 40 to 60 percent o...

FBS's Trading Fees FBS's Spreads I tested FBS's spreads during the most actively traded times – the London open at 8:00 a.m. GMT and just after the U.S. open at 2:45 p.m. GMT.
