Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old. Mental state has not been very good recently, and I don't know why. Please ask: Do I need treatment for pelvic effusion?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion can be categorized into two types: physiological effusion and pathological effusion. Physiological pelvic effusion often occurs after menopause or in early pregnancy and usually resolves naturally without the need for treatment. However, the majority of pelvic effusions are caused by inflammation, specifically due to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. A small number of cases are also caused by conditions such as ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cysts, or ovarian cancer. Those resulting from acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are often accompanied by lower abdominal pain (unilateral or bilateral), lumbosacral pain, and a history of induced or medication-induced abortion.
