Can you get PID from not wiping properly?

A friend of mine recently was very ill with pelvic inflamitory disease not long after having protected sex with a guy who claims to be gay and has had many partners of both sexes. She didn't tell her Dr. this because she doesn't feel it's relevent....?? So her Dr. assumes it is from not wiping properly. I thought PID was an STD?

GET A SECOND OPINION

Tell her to stop being stupid....

You get UTI's from not wiping properly. PID is an STD. Your friend was probably embarrassed to tell you the truth about what the doctor said!

The most common causes of PID are gonorrhea and chlamydial infections, but there are several other anaerobic bacterial species found in the vagina, particularly Bacteroides spp., anaerobic Gram-positive cocci, E.Coli, and Mycoplasma Hominis, which may be pathogens in PID. Many cases are polymicrobial in origin, with two or more bacterial species involved.

It is often unclear, based on cervical samples, which bacteria is present and causing the damage, so broad spectrum antimicrobial coverage is provided to cover gonorrhea, chlamydia, and anaerobes.

So, to answer your question, yes it is possible that the PID was from an ascending infection that was not chlamydia or gonorrhea. However, a doctor will never "just assume" anything about a patient's sexual history. If PID is suspected, cultures will be done in order to confirm that PID is even present, and results will allow the physician to know exactly how to treat the patient.

Your friend's story sounds very fishy. If she is still seeing the same guy, please make sure she knows that she can easily be re-infected with the same infection if her partner was not treated, and lastly, make sure you adamantly encourage her to use protection in the future.

It should be a std! YOu should see your doctor and check some useful information on std information site http://herpesmates.com
