Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a female and I have pelvic inflammation and I went to see a doctor. I was given Tramacet, Azithromycin, and Ciprobay for treatment. It has been four weeks after the treatment and I do not have any abdominal pain. I had been seeing the doctor before. Can the absence of the abdominal pain mean that I have healed? And can my fiance get sick from the inflammation if we have sex without a condom?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

No pain or discharge or itching means the infection has subsided, but a point you have to understand is that you got this infection only after you had sex. So your fiance is the source of the infection. So he too should have the same course of antibiotics. Treatment is never complete without both partners being treated. So he will not get inflammation, he will infect you again and your old symptoms will reappear. So I would advise you to give him same medications and avoid sex till he finishes the medicines and two weeks further so that the infection heals. Let him masturbate 1 to 2 times before you have sex, so all the dead infections too will be thrown out.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
