Patient's question:
After cohabitation, I experienced some pain and went to the hospital. They said it was a corpus luteum rupture. After conservative treatment, I went back to the hospital for a follow-up check-up and they said everything was completely fine. However, I still have some pain in my lower abdomen. Later, after the menstrual period passed, I had an ultrasound, and the result was pelvic effusion. The doctor diagnosed it as pelvic inflammatory disease. They prescribed medication for me to take orally and topical medication. Now my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. Am I better now? What kind of help do I need: Will it affect my ability to get pregnant? If I want to get a follow-up check-up, what kind of tests should I have? Ultrasound or other tests?Doctor's answer:
Based on your previous medical history of corpus luteum rupture and pelvic inflammatory disease, although you are currently asymptomatic after medication, it is still important to have a follow-up check. Because if pelvic inflammatory disease persists for a long time, it may affect fertility, so a follow-up check is necessary. For the follow-up check, an ultrasound examination can be performed first. If there are any issues, please let us know. Best regards.For patients with pelvic effusion, daily treatment is primarily symptomatic. Patients can take many oral medications, supplement with various vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that patients with pelvic effusion can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
