Is pelvic effusion during pregnancy serious?

Patient's question:

The latest prenatal check-up revealed pelvic effusion, and recently I've been experiencing some abdominal pain. I'd like to consult whether pelvic effusion during pregnancy is serious? Will it interfere with the fetus? Will it definitely not cause fetal malformation or other problems? It's a bit overwhelming being pregnant for the first time.

Doctor's answer:

The results of pregnancy tests, if there is pelvic effusion, then the possibility of being caused by gynecological inflammation is much higher. For the fetus, its harm is relatively low. If it leads to fetal malformation, it is mainly due to exposure to radioactive substances during the first three months of pregnancy, invasion of pathogens, especially many herpes, rubella, in addition to measles or cytomegalovirus infection. Pelvic effusion is a serious condition, and it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy foods to prevent exacerbation of the condition. The above answers are hoped to help you, thank you.
