Patient's question:
About a week after my wife's menstrual period, I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The main purpose was to check if she had any gynecological diseases so that we could better treat them. After the examination, it was found that there was 1.0 cm of pelvic effusion. We left the hospital immediately after getting the results and didn't know whether this condition was good or bad. Is a pelvic effusion of 1.0 cm serious?Doctor's answer:
A week after the menstrual period, I had a thorough ultrasound examination at the hospital. The examination revealed one centimeter of pelvic effusion, which is not considered severe. If there are no symptoms during daily life, treatment is not necessary. Pelvic effusion may be caused by postmenopausal fluid accumulation or pelvic inflammation. If there are no symptoms, treatment may not be required. If there is abdominal pain, anti-inflammatory medication can be used for treatment. The daily treatment for patients with pelvic effusion mainly involves symptomatic treatment, and patients can take many oral medications.
