Patient's question:
I just started university, got a boyfriend, and had intimate contact with him. We also took good precautions—I took birth control pills, and he wore a condom—but unexpectedly, I got pregnant. I wanted to go to the hospital to get an abortion, but the nurse said it wasn’t a regular pregnancy; it was a pregnancy with pelvic fluid. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion needs to be evaluated based on the amount of fluid accumulation. Additionally, you should check whether the hospital for your follow-up visit is a legitimate one. It is normal for women to have a small amount of pelvic effusion. How can this be considered an abnormal pregnancy! If the amount of pelvic effusion is indeed slightly increased, you may need to undergo a period of anti-inflammatory treatment before undergoing an induced abortion procedure. This is certainly a viable option. If the pelvic effusion is minimal and a gestational sac can be seen within the uterus, the surgery can be performed directly. For patients, if the pelvic effusion condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of pelvic effusion.
