Patient's question:
Is pelvic effusion caused by vaginitis or other inflammation? Do virgins get pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
There are many different reasons for pelvic effusion. Among them, the onset of menstruation provides an environment for bacterial growth. If personal hygiene is not paid attention to, using unclean sanitary pads, toilet paper, etc., or engaging in sexual activity during menstruation, it creates a good opportunity for bacteria, which can easily lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This typically results in the production of a large amount of inflammatory fluid. It is recommended that patients do not worry too much. If symptoms of PID are suspected, it is advisable to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination. Although virgins have a lower chance of developing pelvic effusion, the possibility is still very small.
