Patient's question:
I've been feeling tired and lacking energy these days, as if I'm lying in bed all day. I also feel a bit of swelling in my lower abdomen and a sensation of heaviness. My husband took me to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was pelvic effusion. What is pelvic effusion and how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
If you have lower abdominal pain and discomfort, it may be related to pelvic inflammatory disease. If the amount of pelvic fluid is less than 15mm, it could also be pelvic inflammatory disease. You can start with conservative medication treatment to see how it goes. Use gynecological anti-inflammatory drugs or capsules for 2 weeks, and it is recommended to use broad-spectrum antibiotics in conjunction, such as metronidazole and levofloxacin. During treatment, it is important to pay attention not to eat spicy foods that could affect the condition, and avoid sexual activity.
