There is a ton of information out there.  Try these sites:\nPelvic inflammatory disease is a serious infection of a woman's reproductive organs. PID is a leading cause of infertility in the United States. At least 1 million cases of PID occur annually in the United States. Following PID, scarring will cause approximately 20 percent of women to become infertile, 18 percent to develop chronic pelvic pain, and 9 percent to have ectopic pregnancies. PID can also lead to life-threatening complications.\n\nhttp://www.coolnurse.com/pid.htm\n\nALso:\n\nhttp://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/hw43366\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/std/PID/STDFact-PID.htm\n\nhttp://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/stdpid.htm

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is a condition in which bacteria, usually from a pelvic infection, spread through the abdomen and cause inflammation of the tissue surrounding the liver. It occurs in 15-30% of women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), but may also occur in women without PID, and in men. \nSymptoms\nIn Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, the inflammation of the liver tissue leads to the formation of abnormal tissue connections (adhesions) between the outside of the liver and the inside of the abdomen. In some individuals, these adhesions cause no symptoms. Others have severe pain in the upper right part of the abdomen, over the gallbladder. The pain may move to the right shoulder. Sometimes the pain increases with coughing, sneezing, or movement. \n\nSince the source of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is most often a pelvic infection, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, chills, fever, and headaches may be present. \n\nDiagnosis\nIn general, a physician cannot see or feel the presence of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, so upper abdominal pain may suggest the diagnosis. \n\nThe presence of a pelvic infection would also provide a clue to the diagnosis, but without PID the diagnosis may be difficult, since many conditions can cause abdominal pain. In women, cervical cultures for two particular pelvic infections, chlamydia and gonorrhea, will be done, since these infections are the most common causes of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. If infection is present, the white blood cell count (WBC) in the blood will be high, as will the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). \nThe physician will examine the individual for common conditions which have symptoms similar to Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, such as gallstones, liver inflammation (hepatitis), kidney stones or infection, and stomach ulcer. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan can help rule out these disorders. A chest x-ray can rule out pneumonia as a cause of pain with coughing or sneezing. \n\nLaparoscopy confirms diagnosis\nThe best way to confirm a diagnosis of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is by the physician taking a look inside the body at the outside of the liver. This is done by inserting a camera inside the abdomen, called laparoscopy. The physician can see the adhesions on the outside of the liver, which have a typical stringy look (called "violin-string" adhesions). \n\nTreatment\nTreatment for the individual with Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome consists of antibiotics for the infection and pain medicine. Once the infection is cleared up, the symptoms resolve. Since chlamydia and gonorrhea are spread through sexual contact, the individual must restrict her/his sexual activity until the infection is gone, and the individual's sexual partner(s) must also be treated.

i can't really give you info as such, however your best bet is academic medical journals which are all about current researches in medicine and illnesses/diseases. You won't find this info on the net as it's confidential, and costly research. \nTo get you started you could try the BMJ (British Medical Journal)\nHope it helps.

ask about HPV.  It is the most common STD.

Inflammation of the cervix. The condition is called "Cervicitis". How do you know it is your cervix that has inflammation? Sometimes there is discharge associated. And an infection could be the cause.  You don't need to be having sex to get this but an STD or allergic reaction to a spermicide or condom tends to be a common reason for getting this. Get a doctor to check you, if you haven't already.

Hello...you didn't include information about where you are located so I can't include any information about specific places to go but I can give you some very good generic info.  Go to your nearest university medical library.  Almost all of them have one and inside you will find a journal section, usually online, that can point you towards excellent articles and papers on the subject.

Almost half of all women who get chlamydia and aren't treated by a doctor will get pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a generic term for infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries. PID can cause scarring inside the reproductive organs, which can later cause serious complications, including chronic pelvic pain, difficulty becoming pregnant, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, and other dangerous complications of pregnancy. Chlamydia causes 250,000 to 500,000 cases of PID every year in the U.S. [2]\n\nIn women, chlamydia may not cause any symptoms, but symptoms that may occur include: unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge, pain in the abdomen, painful sexual intercourse, fever, painful urination or the urge to urinate more frequently than usual.

chlamydia can lead you to have Pelvic inflammatory disease if it is not treated (every woman varies may take months or longer), every woman is different as to how long it may take for their symptoms to get worse and it is very hard to tell because with this sexually transmitted disease there a few symptoms. It is very important to get tested and get treated for it to prevent complications, the symptoms can include dischange/ pus from vagina.\n\ngo to  http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/stdclam.htm\nit has alot of useful info.xx

Yes, there is limited (but rapidly growing) medical literature on this.  Go to Pubmed and try a search with  terms such as: microflora, dysbiosis, arthritis, inflammation, and/or lipopolysacharrides (LPS).\n\nGood luck!

You could have bacterial vaginosis or have pelvic immflamatory disease. Go to your gynocologist asap.

I think an excellent topic about Cervical Cancer and the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) might be how many women go on to have other types of cancer from it. HPV causes lesser know cancers in women such as vulvar, vaginal, and anal. I run a support group for these problems and many women that have HPV and Cervical Cancer do later go on to have different problems, for some reason many women are not able to ever fight off the virus, where as most can. Maybe the role that the immune system plays in it would be something to explore....why do some women with "high risk" HPV get cancer and others don't?\nGood luck! I applaud you for picking such an interesting topic.
