Hi,

The very first thing is to make sure that the person who you had sex with has really (and not thinking to have) an STD and to determine the type.
If you have been tested for STDs and resulted negative, then, nothing to worry about unnecessarily.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is when the internal pelvic organs get inflamed/infected. This is associated with pain and other local symptoms.

Once you know for sure the type of STDs, can start proper treatment.
Make sure to practice always safe sex (protected).

All the best!
