Doctor, Q about bacteria and blocked fallopian tubeFrom: paula (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 28 Feb 2002 23:15:39 -0600 (CST)
last july i began having pelvic pain and thought i either had endometriosis or the cysts on my ovaries had gotton worse (i have PCOS). it turns out that i had a bacterial infection that had blocked my left fallopian tube. i was referred to a RE because the pain did not go away with anti-biotics and i seemed to have bowel and bladder involvement as well. i CAN NOT remember the name of the bacteria. the RE said it was a "ubiquitos bacteria that does not normally gain entry through the cervix." she also told me that it could cause a lot of scarring and damage. i know the bacteria name started with an "A". i ask because i am now 13w1d pregnant and am in pain. i have not had any spotting and the pain is not terribly alarming, just concerning. i am wondering whether the pain is uterine in origin or whether it is that my uterus is expanding and putting pressure on the "damaged" areas of my system. if you have heard of a similar case (i am positive i would recognize the name of the bacteria if i saw it), i would appreciate any guidance you could give. i do not want to be alarmist, and since i have no spotting or intense pain, i am reluctant to request a sooner appointment. thank you in advance for your advice.
