Patient's question:
I have been experiencing lower abdominal pain since last week, and it has been more than that. Also, I am currently in my period, but my menstruation is delayed by a whole week. Moreover, my menstrual flow has decreased, and I heard that this is a symptom of pelvic effusion. I'm not quite sure, what are the symptoms of pelvic effusion?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion can be divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological pelvic effusion does not cause any symptoms, while pathological pelvic effusion, as proven by tests, is mostly related to pelvic inflammation. Therefore, it may present symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, increased leukorrhea, and decreased body temperature. Please compare and see if you have any of the above symptoms. If you do, you need to receive active anti-inflammatory treatment. If you have no discomfort, and only experience delayed menstruation, it may have nothing to do with pelvic effusion. There are many treatment methods for pelvic effusion, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
