Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, delayed by three or four days each time, with irregular, heartbeat-like tremors in the left lower abdomen. The mouth often feels as if something is there. Is this a symptom of pelvic effusion? How should this be treated? Preferably with traditional Chinese medicine. I am reluctant to take medicine.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation and delayed by 3-4 days, with irregular, heartbeat-like tremors in the left lower abdomen. This condition cannot be definitively confirmed as pelvic effusion, but it may indicate inflammation or other underlying causes. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination. If pelvic effusion is present, it can be clearly observed on ultrasound as fluid accumulation in the uterine rectal pouch. Sometimes, a delay of 3-4 days in menstruation can also fall within the normal range. Additionally, factors such as environmental changes or work-related stress may contribute to this. If pelvic effusion is detected on ultrasound, Western medicine with anti-inflammatory properties can be used, either orally or in pill form. Chinese medicine can help clear heat and detoxify. If you prefer not to take medication, oral supplements are an option, though the process may take longer. In the meantime, it is advisable to drink more and eat less spicy or irritating foods.
