When I was 16 the doctor told me that I hade Bacterial Vaginosis? What exactly is this?
Then when I was 17 I was told that I had Pelvic Inflammotory deases. What exactly does all of this mean?? And what is Parvo virus B19? The human kind?

Bacterial vaginosis is supposedly very common. It's basically just an overgrowth of bacteria, and there doesn't seem to be any clear answers about what causes it (in my experience, anyway). I typically get an infection when I start a sexual relationship with a new guy. Apparently it takes time for my body to adjust to a new penis or something. It's a major annoyance, but it's easily treated with a nasty antibiotic (flagyl...blechh...but it works).

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Occurs in sexually active women of childbearing aage. 1/4 to 1/2 of the million cases in the US are caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. It is caused by bacteria entering the cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovqaries, or perineum. It is sometimes a complication of a primary ascending GI tract infection. Symptoms include fever, chills, malaise, and lower abdominal pain. A pus containing discharge may be present. In severe infections, scar tissue may block the fallopian tubes. Severe infections may lead to a chronic state as well as irreparable damage to reproductive organs. It is usually treated with broad spectrum antibiotics.

Parvovirus B-19: It is a mild childhood illness, usually occuring between the ages of 5 and 14. It usually occurs during winter or spring. Typically, a rash develops on the face, trunk, and extremitites. It is thought to be spread through respiratory secretions. There is currently no treatment or vaccine available.

Hope this helped answer some of your questions =)

thanks

How come I didn't get parvo before when I was younger? Just one of those things. So am I ok basically?

Parvo is not something that all children get, but that is the most common age group. You may have come in contact with a younger child that had it, and passed it to you. As I said, it is passed thorugh respiratory secretions, so an infected person coughs on you, and fnow you get it. It's like pink eye...it is usually a childhood disease, but adults can become infected with it as well. You just got unlucky =) As to the..are you okay basically? I would say yes. With the PID, if it has cleared there should be no problems. Probably something the doctor would need to look at to be 100% sure...but in general, yea, you should be all right.
