Do you need to continue treatment for pelvic effusion?

Patient's question:

A week ago it was 1.61.1cm, after treatment it became 0.60.4cm. How should it continue to be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Pelvic effusion is divided into two types: 1. Physiological pelvic effusion, generally less than 10mm, often occurs after menopause or in early pregnancy, and can usually disappear naturally without the need for treatment. 2. The majority of pelvic effusions are caused by inflammation, specifically due to chronic pelvic inflammatory exudation. A very small number are caused by conditions such as ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cysts, or ovarian cancer. Those caused by acute or chronic pelvic inflammation are often accompanied by lower abdominal pain (unilateral or bilateral), lumbosacral pain, and a history of induced or medication-induced abortion. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for further examination. After a clear diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
