Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for an ultrasound due to vaginal bleeding. There was pelvic effusion. After taking medication for a week, my period came, which lasted about ten days. Two days after it ended, it started bleeding again. A thorough examination was conducted, and the doctor only noticed a broken cervix, diagnosing it as endometritis. They prescribed medication, which I have been taking for four days, but there is still bleeding. What could be the reason? It's really urgent.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion refers to the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity. It is primarily caused by acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexal inflammation. It is often accompanied by lower abdominal pain (unilateral or bilateral), lower back and sacral pain, lower back soreness with a sensation of heaviness, lower abdominal distension and pain, heaviness, and lower back soreness. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is particularly effective for acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. It is recommended to take the Chinese herbal medicine Guizhenqianjin tablets. Generally, 3-4 courses of treatment are required, with 2-3 courses for milder conditions. Each course lasts 14 days and can alleviate symptoms. At home, you can use hot water bags, electronic heaters, or wrap heated coarse salt in cloth for cold compresses.
