Patient's question:
Recently, my aunt has had irregular menstruation for a while, and every time she experiences severe abdominal pain during her period. Besides blood clots, she also feels pain on one side of her lower abdomen and often has a persistent feeling of lower back pain. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that she has physiological pelvic effusion. So, what exactly is physiological pelvic effusion?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic fluid in women is divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological pelvic fluid refers to the occurrence of a small amount of pelvic fluid during different periods of a woman's menstrual cycle. For example, during the ovulation period, due to the influence of hormones in the body, a small amount of pelvic fluid may reappear. However, this physiological pelvic fluid is usually not significant in quantity, and sometimes a small amount of pelvic fluid may also reappear before the onset of menstruation. This physiological pelvic fluid generally does not require treatment and will disappear on its own.
