Patient's question:
I was pregnant before with pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic effusion. I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for regulation and preparing for pregnancy. Now that I am pregnant, a detailed ultrasound examination around the gestational sac shows pelvic effusion. The doctor prescribed traditional Chinese medicine for me and advised me to rest in bed. I wonder if the effusion can be resolved? However, when she prescribed the medicine, she only reviewed the ultrasound report and did not know that I had effusion before becoming pregnant. Could it be that she might have misdiagnosed it as physiological effusion instead of pathological effusion? If it is pathological, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description. It is preliminarily suspected that there is a small amount of physiological fluid around the early gestational sac, which is nothing to worry about. It is generally not related to anterior pelvic effusion during pregnancy. It is recommended that you follow the advice of your attending physician for treatment. Schedule follow-up tests on time. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with pelvic inflammatory disease also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
