Patient's question:
I am a 79-year-old woman who has been feeling very tired for a while. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I found out that I was sick. Please ask: What should I generally do if the check-up shows pelvic effusion?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion refers to the presence of inflammatory exudates in the pelvic cavity. Treating pelvic effusion essentially means treating pelvic inflammation. Using antibiotics or other medications does not yield significant results. The main reason is that pelvic inflammation caused by pelvic inflammatory disease leads to adhesions of pelvic local connective tissues, making it difficult for drugs to penetrate the inflamed area. Additionally, not all pelvic inflammatory diseases can be identified with specific pathogens, so the use of antibiotics lacks targeted specificity, making the therapeutic effect uncertain. Therefore, adopting traditional Chinese medicine is the best approach.
