Hi, @xopinkchampagne - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Dealing with discharge, pelvic pain and frequent urination would be challenging. That sounds wise that you went back in to the clinic to get some testing and some answers.
You talked about being diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Here is some information on that diagnosis from Mayo Clinic that may be of interest to you https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pelvic-inflammatory-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20352594
@lifesha12 @rdrdhap @predictable @suzette @poppysmith @softame45 @travelgirl may have some thoughts for you on where you may stand with the symptoms at this juncture in your antibiotics course or on pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
You talked about your symptoms improving and yet not going away entirely, @xopinkchampagne. Are you at the end of your antibiotics course? Have you mentioned your concerns to the doctor about being back to square one when you are done with the medication?

Hi @lisalucier , thank you for getting back to me. Yes it has been a challenging and stressful situation for me as I wasn't experiencing any issues at all until I contracted chlamydia, and it's all been a bit of a downward spiral from there really. It's also been difficult considering all my tests results are negative yet I'm still having unexplained symptoms.
My doctor diagnosed me with PID although no actual cause was found, but she couldn't see any other explanation for my symptoms. I have completed my course of antibiotics and the discharge has gone, my pelvic pain has almost completely subsided although I'm still slightly tender and uncomfortable, is this normal? However I'm still experiencing discomfort in my urethra (more my urethra rather than bladder) which gets worse as my bladder fills and is causing frequent urination, this wasn't happening until all of this although the doctor told me frequent urination probably wasn't related to the PID. I've been tested for a UTI which came back negative, so I'm not really sure where to go with that now.
I have discussed my concerns with my doctor and she has arranged for me to have a pelvic ultrasound scan at the hospital in two weeks to check everything is as it should be which I'm glad about as hopefully it will put my mind at ease.
