Patient's question:
Stomach feels full, but no pain in the abdomen. About half a month ago. Test results: Had an ultrasound at the outpatient clinic, which said 1.0 cm in diameter. What help is needed: To check if there is pelvic effusion.Doctor's answer:
If the ultrasound shows a liquid dark area in the rectouterine pouch, it indicates pelvic effusion, which is a manifestation of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Minimal pelvic effusion without symptoms may not require treatment, but if there are symptoms such as abdominal pain, anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered. The amount of effusion you currently have is not significant, and the abdominal pain symptoms are also mild. You can start with a warm bag for abdominal cold compress and carefully monitor the situation, paying attention to preventing cold and avoiding exposure to cold. Patients with pelvic effusion can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment alongside professional medical care. In daily dietary habits, it is important to avoid foods and maintain a balanced diet.
