Patient's question:
I am 81 years old and my mental state has not been very good recently. I don't know what's wrong either. Please ask: How is it better to treat pelvic effusion?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion needs to be assessed based on the amount of fluid accumulation, and treatment should be chosen if symptoms arise. If the effusion is minimal and there are no symptoms, it may not require intervention. If the effusion is significant and accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain or lower abdominal tenderness, it may indicate pelvic inflammatory disease. In such cases, treatments like Oseltamivir and Levofloxacin can be taken orally, and cold compresses with roasted salt on the lower abdomen can help absorb the fluid. Additionally, it is important to significantly boost the immune system.The patient should also adhere to a disciplined diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, and regulate physical and mental well-being. In daily life, it is essential to maintain a positive mood, consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and eat more vegetables and fruits.
