Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, female. Due to lower back pain and a heavy feeling in the lower abdomen, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have fluid accumulation in the pelvis. Is pelvic fluid accumulation of 26mm serious?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion is divided into two types: physiological and pathological. The former does not require treatment, while the latter is commonly associated with conditions such as pelvic inflammation, adnexitis, and endometriosis. Based on the amount of pelvic effusion you have, it could be physiological. If you have no symptoms, there may be no immediate need for intervention. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to diagnose the condition accurately and receive appropriate treatment for timely recovery.
