Patient's question:
I am a 77-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: What are the symptoms of pelvic effusion?Doctor's answer:
Some pelvic fluid is physiological and may not cause any symptoms. Others may have chronic inflammation with a small amount of fluid, which may not be clearly symptomatic. Some people may experience chronic pelvic pain, a sensation of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and so on. A gynecological examination is necessary to determine if there is tenderness in the uterus and adnexa. If there is inflammation, it must be treated promptly, otherwise it can easily lead to chronic pelvic pain, secondary infertility, and other complications.
