Patient's question:
I am a 78-year-old woman, and my body has been feeling uncomfortable gradually. I don't know what's wrong, and it seems like I lack energy. Please ask: If the ultrasound check shows pelvic effusion, what could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Based on your content, your condition is considered to be pelvic effusion. Generally, pelvic effusion is caused by inflammation, typically resulting from pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can be either chronic or acute. For acute PID, bed rest and semi-recumbent positioning are encouraged to localize the inflammation. A high-calorie, high-protein, and high-vitamin diet is recommended, and in some cases, minor surgery may be performed to significantly enhance the body's resistance.Additionally, during treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to prevent bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
