Patient's question:
I feel itchy in the external genital area and a recent sense of swelling in the lower abdomen. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the ultrasound revealed a 6mm deep fluid-filled area in the rectouterine pouch, with the diagnosis being: pelvic effusion. The colposcopy examination confirmed: multiple nabothian cysts (two or three can be seen). Do I need surgery?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is a small amount of pelvic effusion and multiple Nabothian cysts on the cervix. This is a benign inflammatory condition, primarily determined by the size of the cysts and whether there are any complications at the moment. For your situation, if you are currently not experiencing any discomfort, it may not be necessary to address it. If the inflammation is relatively severe and there is a significant discharge of leukorrhea, conservative drug treatment could be considered. If the cysts are very large, there may be a risk of bleeding, and surgery could be an option. However, it is a minor procedure and there is no need to worry too much. After the surgery, anti-inflammatory treatment should be implemented.There are many treatment methods for pelvic effusion, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach also differs. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
