Patient's question:
I already have a child, and this time I got pregnant unexpectedly. So, I had an abortion. Seven days after the surgery, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I had pelvic effusion and prescribed many medications for me to take at home. So, what is pelvic effusion? What should I do if I have pelvic effusion after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion is generally classified as physiological or pathological. If it is below 1.0 cm, it is usually considered a physiological accumulation and does not require treatment. Pelvic effusions greater than 1.0 cm are mostly caused by inflammation and can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications.Patients with pelvic effusion should pay attention to maintaining vulvar hygiene, as it can increase the risk of gynecological inflammation. It is recommended to wear cotton underwear and change laundry daily. Avoid spicy foods and stay warm.
In addition to timely treatment, patients with pelvic effusion should also pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients effectively. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you!
