Is it normal to have pelvic fluid during a menstrual period as shown on an ultrasound?

Patient's question:

Is it normal to have pelvic fluid during a menstrual period? The endometrium is 6mm thick—is it about to end? It's been a week since my period started, but it hasn't stopped yet! Last week, I didn't have my period, and the fluid wasn't detected then? How did it show up this week?

Doctor's answer:

Recurrent pelvic effusion during the menstrual period is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended to wait and see for another two days, as the endometrium is still a bit thick and may need to break through. If it still breaks through after three days, you can try taking Gongxuening orally. For the patient, if the pelvic effusion condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to recurrent pelvic effusion. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
