You need to see your doctor and get tested.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of a woman鈥檚 reproductive organs. Treating PID right away is important, because PID can cause scar tissue in the pelvic organs and lead to infertility. It can also lead to other problems, such as pelvic pain and tubal (ectopic) pregnancy.
What causes PID?
PID is caused by bacteria entering the reproductive organs through the cervix. When the cervix is infected, bacteria from the vagina can more easily get into and infect the uterus and fallopian tubes.
You may be more likely to get PID if you:
Have a sexually transmitted disease (STD). The most common causes of PID are gonorrhea and chlamydia.
You are at higher risk for STDs if you are young and you don't use condoms when you have sex. Having more than one sex partner also increases your risk for STDs.
Have bacterial vaginosis, which is not an STD. Douche. Have recently had an IUD inserted or had an abortion. Had PID before.
What are the symptoms?
At first, PID may not cause any symptoms or may cause only mild symptoms, such as bleeding or discharge from the vagina. Some women don't even know they have it. They only find out later, when they can't get pregnant or they have pelvic pain.
As the infection spreads, the most common symptom is pain in the lower belly. The pain has been described as crampy or as a dull and constant ache. It may be worse during sex, bowel movements, or when you urinate. Some women also have a fever.

Gonorrhea:
genital disease: a sexually transmitted disease that causes inflammation of the genital mucous membrane, burning pain when urinating, and a discharge.
It is caused by a gonococcus bacterium. You should go see a OB-GYN ASAP. Any of these two can cause more health problems if gone untreated.
