What STD is hard to test and has lower abdominal pain?
The only one I can think of with lower abdominal pain is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). PID is an infection in the uterus. But it's not technically "transmitted" from male to female, even though sexual intercourse can introduce bacteria into the vagina that reaches the uterus. The bacteria doesn't necessarily come from the male.
Is operation done for ectopic pregnancy a risk factor of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?
No, you have it backwards. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a risk factor for ectopic pregnancy, and prior PID is a risk factor for current PID.
Does pelvic inflammatory disease re-occur?
PID can recur, or can become chronic.

It probably says bid which stands for twice daily, or qid which stands for three times daily. PID stands for pelvic inflammatory disease.
What is PID and what usually causes it?
If you are referring to pelvic inflammatory disease, it can be caused by bacteria, virus, or fungus.
Would STD screening detect pelvic inflammatory disease?
If a woman had a bimanual exam during the STD screening, then it might detect PID. Simple urine testing will not detect PID.
What is a chronic pelvic infection?
Pelvic inflammatory disease, commonly called PID, is an infection of the female reproductive organs. PID is one of the most serious complications of a sexually transmitted disease in women: It can lead to irreversible damage to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other parts of the female reproductive system, and is the primary preventable cause of infertility in women.
Can herpes cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?
It is rare, but possible, to have Pelvic Inflammatory Disease without having an STD. Normally, the cervix prevents bacteria that enter the vagina from spreading to the internal reproductive organs. If the cervix is exposed to a sexually transmitted disease -- such as gonorrhea and/orchlamydia -- the cervix itself becomes infected and less able to prevent the spread of organisms to the internal organs. PID occurs when the disease-causing organisms travel from the cervix to the upper genital tract. Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause about 90% of all cases of PID. Other causes include abortion, childbirth, and pelvic procedures. It is rare, but you can get PID without having an STD. No one is sure why, but normal bacteria found in the vagina and on the cervix can sometimes cause PID.
What kind of infection can you get if you dont have a d and c?
PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) and if eventually blood poisoning and death.
