Patient's question:
I have pelvic effusion. The doctor who did the ultrasound asked me to ask the attending physician about the cause of the illness. However, when I asked, the doctor said no, it's just simple pelvic inflammation that caused the effusion. I don't know what to do?History of treatment and effectiveness: None
What kind of help do you want: I want to figure out whether it's just simple pelvic inflammation or caused by sepsis. I'm very confused and have no idea what to do.
Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion is divided into two types: physiological and pathological. Physiological pelvic effusion often occurs in postmenopausal women or in the early stages of pregnancy and usually resolves naturally, requiring no treatment. Pathological pelvic effusion is often caused by pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. In cases where the effusion is due to pelvic inflammation, it is best to perform a posterior vaginal fornix puncture for examination to determine the nature of the fluid. Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should be treated early, while also paying close attention to their dietary care and monitoring any changes in their symptoms, believing that this will surely help eliminate the pelvic effusion.
