Patient's question:
In September 2017, I underwent an ectopic pregnancy surgery to remove the left fallopian tube. Then in November 2018, a thorough examination revealed pelvic fluid accumulation of 65×12mm. In January 2019, a careful examination showed mild vaginitis, for which medication has been administered. This year, I want to get pregnant. Can I get pregnant with pelvic fluid accumulation? Do I need to have a fallopian tube?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, pelvic effusion is mostly caused by fluid leakage due to chronic inflammation, which may lead to discomfort in the lower abdomen and fallopian tube inflammation, among other conditions.It is best to undergo a thorough examination with fallopian tube at a hospital 3~7 days after your menstrual period before preparing to conceive. Additionally, a follow-up ultrasound should be performed to check for any signs of pelvic effusion. During the preconception phase, both partners can take folic acid tablets to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. It is also recommended to spend more time outdoors and exercise regularly.
Fallopian tube is a common gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised to maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
