I’m a 23F and have been dealing with constant pelvic and abdominal pain, a total loss of appetite, and weird digestive symptoms for weeks now. I’ve tested negative for every STI and infection, but the symptoms haven’t gone away and it’s starting to affect my daily life.
I had chlamydia twice within a few months. The first time I was treated with azithromycin, and the second time with azithromycin plus a 7-day course of doxycycline. After the second round of treatment, I tested positive for asymptomatic BV, which I treated with Metrogel and cleared. However, the Metrogel gave me a yeast infection, which I treated with Diflucan. Since then, I’ve tested negative for every single STD and STI through swabs, blood work, and urine tests.
Now I’m left with constant pelvic cramping and pressure, abdominal pain and bloating, total loss of appetite (I eat but never feel hungry), and gurgling in my stomach with occasional constipation. At one point I even accidentally peed a little while trying to pass gas.
Here’s what’s been ruled out: I’ve tested negative multiple times for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, mycoplasma gen and mycoplasma homminis, ureaplasma and urea parvum, BV, and yeast infections (NAAT swabs). I’ve also had blood work and urine tests come back normal (negative for HIV, Syphillis, HSV1&2) Three different doctors have ruled out PID, and an abdominal X-ray came back normal—so constipation or gas buildup isn’t the cause either. I have no fever and no abnormal discharge.
I’m wondering now if this could be post-infectious inflammation, pelvic floor dysfunction, or maybe nerve-related pain. Has anyone else been through something similar after chlamydia or other pelvic infections? Did anything help? I feel really stuck and could use some advice or shared experiences.
