Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
Pelvic infection has some features like
vaginal discharge, urinary infection, pain, irregular menstrual cycles, back pain,
pain during intercourse, fever etc. It can be diagnosed through a physical exam, a pap smear, a vaginal swab,
urinalysis, sonogram-pelvic/trans-vaginal and blood counts. The partner may also need to be tested. A general pelvic antibiotic should usually suffice. If the backache is due to infection, you will experience immediate relief.
Tubal patency can be tested either by a hysterosalpingogram or HSG or a laparoscopic chromopertubation. The latter is the better choice. This needs to be done only if you fail to conceive in future. If you do have any pelvic infection right now, your tubal patency test may be performed as a precaution after the treatment is complete.
To exclude other causes of the back pain, you need to consult an orthopedic in person as you would need a physical exam. You do get orthopedics in our forum and you can get opinions from them.
Hope I have clarified your query. Please get back if you need more information. I will be ready to help.
regards,
Shanti.V.
