Patient's question:
When I found out that I had unexpectedly become pregnant, I immediately went to the hospital to have an abortion. The surgery was quite successful, and it has already been more than half a month since the abortion. Today, during my follow-up check-up at the hospital, I discovered that I have pelvic effusion. With 21mm of pelvic effusion after half a month of abortion, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, there is a small amount of fluid in the pelvis, which is physiological pelvic effusion. Currently, after a careful ultrasound examination, the effusion has reached 21 millimeters, indicating pathological pelvic effusion and suggesting pelvic inflammatory disease. It is recommended to receive intravenous antibiotics for one week. After one week, a follow-up color Doppler ultrasound should be performed to assess the treatment effectiveness. Pelvic inflammatory disease is also a common gynecological disease. It is generally more likely to recur after miscarriage or induced abortion.
