Can STD Cause Abdominal Pain?

Hi, Recently I ve been having lower left abdominal pain. My pain ranges from sharp, dull, and cramping sort of pain. The other day I d noticed some type of white substance in my stool before flushing. Visit the emergency room yesterday, to only tell me, I might had an STD. Okay how can they be so sure, when I was told to come back in four days for my results. Can you give me some other reasons what may be going on with me? Unless they are right. I hope not, because that means my partner of 8 years is sleeping around unprotected. Thank you, A concerned one

Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

The symptoms of abdominal pain and passage of white substance in your stool points more to an intestinal infection than a STD. I would advise you to go for a stool test for ova and cyst and get it treated if positive which would relieve you of your symptoms. Chances of having an STD with this kind of symptom would be remote, and if in doubt get yourself investigated as advised by your treating doctor.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
