Can pelvic effusion cause menstrual disorders?

Patient's question:

B carefully checked that the uterus is of normal size and shape, with uniform muscle layer echoes and the uterine cavity line on the left side. The Douglas pouch shows a 1.4x0.7cm size fluid-filled area. No significant abnormal echoes were observed in the bilateral adnexal regions. What does this mean? Is there pelvic effusion? How should it be treated? Does pelvic effusion cause menstrual disorders?

Doctor's answer:

From the above ultrasound results, no significant abnormalities were observed in the bilateral adnexa of the uterus, and there was some pelvic effusion. Pelvic effusion can be either physiological or pathological. Pathological effusion is mainly caused by pelvic inflammation, while physiological effusion is commonly seen during the ovulation period and menstrual period. If you do not experience symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, lower back pain, or purulent vaginal discharge, which are indicative of pelvic inflammation, it is likely physiological effusion and will not affect your menstrual cycle. No treatment is necessary. Gynecological diseases are a condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay close attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
