Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
Staphylococcus is commonly present in environment and can cause infection .It is not directly related with sexual intercourse .
I wanted to know how did you know about Staphylococcus infection. which specimen you used for culture and sensitivity testing .
your complaint are suggestive of Pelvic inflammatory disease(PID) and there are so many causes for this .PID can be caused by exual contact with ifected partner but Staphylococcus do not transmit through sexual contact .
You need to contact a Gynecologist and take complete treatment .
take care .
