Patient's question:
Female, 32 years old. Recently, she has been feeling constant pain in her lower abdomen and soreness in her waist, and her private area has been uncomfortable with itching and burning. Question: Can pelvic effusion be treated and improve the chances of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion does not affect pregnancy. Most people have some fluid in their abdomen, which serves as a lubricant. When standing, this fluid accumulates in the pelvic cavity, forming pelvic effusion. Additionally, pelvic effusion may slightly increase during ovulation or menstruation. Therefore, small amounts of pelvic effusion are usually physiological. As long as it is below 5 cm, without abdominal pain, rectal fullness, stomach pain, or fever, it does not require attention. If the pelvic effusion exceeds 5 cm, it is necessary to check for abdominal effusion and follow up regularly.
