Patient's question:
I am 25 years old. Two years ago, I had an abortion. Because I have been experiencing mild pain on the left side of my lower abdomen for the past two weeks, I went to the hospital. After the doctor's thorough examination, he said I have pelvic effusion. Can pelvic effusion be treated with medication? Will it interfere with fertility?Doctor's answer:
You have a condition of pelvic effusion. If the pelvic effusion is less than 1.0 centimeters, it indicates the presence of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can be treated with medication. The treatment generally involves the use of blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving drugs, as well as antibiotics. It is also recommended to combine this with physical therapy. Local cold compresses can be applied to promote the resolution of local effusion. After active treatment, if it does not lead to fallopian tube blockage, it generally does not interfere with fertility.
