Do I have PID?


I happened to come across the disease on the internet, and I had ALL the symptoms. I don't have a sexually trasnmitted disease (I haven't had sex at all) but I do have very abnormal vaginal discharge, lower right abdomincal pain, and pain during my period. Is this PID or something else? I'm very scared.

It's highly unlikely that you have PID,so,please stop worrying yourself.Abnormal discharge,particularly if discoloured COULD indicate a mild infection..you dont have to have sex to get that.
As for the right-sided pain,it COULD be your appendics,so,again consult you GP.
Pain during a period is normal for a lot of women,sometimes to the point where it prevents you from taking part in every day activities.When it gets as bad as that just take a couple of pain-killers or anti-imflamatories and rest up with a hot-water bottle until you're feeling better.
Above all..dont be scared!

no. don't worry. but better to get a check-up.

Get a check up, while PID is an STD, there could be several other less serious problems that cause the same symptoms, so don't mess with your health, sexually active or not, get a check up hon.

PID is NOT an STD. Although a sexually transmitted infection is often the cause, other routes are possible, including lymphatic, postpartum, postabortal (either miscarriage or abortion) or IUD related, and hematogenous spread.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (or disorder) (PID) is a generic term for infection of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as it progresses to scar formation with adhesions to nearby tissues and organs. This may lead to tissue necrosis with/or without abscess formation. Pus can be released into the peritoneum. 2/3 of patients with laparoscopic evidence of previous PID were not aware they had had PID (Cecil's 5th ed). PID is often associated with sexually transmitted diseases, as it is a common result of such infections. PID is a vague term and can refer to viral, fungal, parasitic, though most often bacterial infections. PID should be classified by affected organs, the stage of the infection, and the organism(s) causing it.
