Patient's question:
On the 7th, I had a color Doppler ultrasound. The doctor found 2.4 cm of pelvic effusion and prescribed me medicine for over 20 days. After finishing the medicine, I went for a follow-up check-up and had another color Doppler ultrasound, which still showed 2.4 cm. Could it be that the medicine had absolutely no effect? Or is it that the medicine cannot completely cure the pelvic effusion? It seems impossible to completely resolve it? Yesterday, the doctor prescribed me so much medicine again, and I don’t have the confidence to take it. Last time, after taking medicine for over 20 days, it had no effect at all. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion is divided into two types: physiological and pathological. Physiological pelvic effusion often occurs in postmenopausal women or in the early stages of pregnancy and usually resolves naturally, requiring no treatment. Pathological pelvic effusion is often caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or endometriosis. For effusions caused by pelvic inflammation, it is best to perform a posterior vaginal fornix puncture examination to determine the nature of the fluid. Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should be treated early, as delaying treatment can interfere with fertility. For severe cases of pelvic effusion, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above information will be helpful to you. Thank you.
