Patient's question:
Friend has been feeling lower abdominal pain these two days. She went to the hospital and the doctor said it was pelvic effusion. Is a pelvic effusion of 18cm serious?Doctor's answer:
If there is sexual activity and accompanied by abnormal vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, lower back discomfort, and pelvic fluid accumulation of 1.8 cm, it is likely caused by gynecological inflammation, commonly seen in pelvic inflammatory disease. It is best to undergo a gynecological internal examination. If there is tenderness, it suggests pelvic inflammation, and anti-inflammatory medication is required. Oral medication or intravenous infusion can be used initially. Rest should be paid attention to recently, and smoking and drinking beer should be avoided to prevent overexertion.
