Patient's question:
The doctor asked me if I have been experiencing severe pain in the uterus recently. Then my friend said it could be pelvic inflammatory disease or pelvic fluid accumulation, so I wanted to ask what are the symptoms of pelvic fluid accumulation? With my current condition, do I need to go to the hospital for a thorough examination?Doctor's answer:
If there is a minimal amount of pelvic effusion, which is physiological, there should be no symptoms. If the pelvic effusion is more significant and accompanied by pelvic inflammatory disease, it may cause pain, lower back and sacral discomfort, and abnormal vaginal discharge. In the case you described, it is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound, gynecological examination, and a vaginal discharge test. If pelvic inflammatory disease is present, it is essential to receive active treatment.When patients face the harm of pelvic effusion, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the pelvic effusion does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
