Irregular periods or spotting is not a
sign of pregnancy. It seems that the
negative pregnancy tests confirm this
diagnosis. Further, nausea is a common
symptom and can be present in many
disorders and conditions including
pregnancy. That’s why we can’t base
our suspicions on such common symptom.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) due to
gonorrhea can cause irregular cycles and
spotting but other symptoms are present,
too, such as: lower abdominal pain,
vaginal discharge, fiver, nausea-vomiting,
sterility etc. PID caused by gonorrhea is
a serious genital infection and symptoms
mentioned above are usually present. In
your case, however, gonorrhea doesn’t
seem to be possible. Microbiological
examination of 4 smears taken from the
cervical canal, vagina, urethra and rectum
are necessary to confirm or exclude
gonorrhea. You can request these
examinations from your gynecologist.
