Patient's question:
Doctor, I had a thorough examination at the Central Maternity Hospital, including a diagnostic color ultrasound. The results showed that the lower segment of the uterine serosal layer remained continuous, but the echo of the underlying muscular layer was decreased. There was a hyperechoic area measuring 172014mm at the bottom with unclear boundaries and poor blood flow. In the rectal fossa, there was a liquid dark area with a depth of 15mm. The examination suggested: weakened echoes below the cesarean section incision, indicating the need for careful observation of the incision condition, as well as pelvic effusion. Currently, I experience mild pain when lightly pressing below the navel, and it's difficult to get up or lie down, with pain every time I move, similar to the pain I had during the cesarean section. I have been postpartum for 68 days. Previous treatment and outcomes: The doctor prescribed me medication for two weeks, but the pain did not subside. He said it might be due to inadequate debridement at the incision site and suggested re-debridement if the pain did not improve. I am now taking traditional Chinese medicine, but the pain has not subsided either. What kind of help do I need: How to use itDoctor's answer:
According to your description, it is considered that bacterial infection has been caused by incision and poor healing, leading to pelvic effusion. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a re-examination to check the condition of the wound. If it is possible to implement drainage tube drainage, surgery may not be necessary. In addition to active treatment, patients with pelvic effusion should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover quickly from this disease. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
