Patient's question:
After cohabitation, I experienced stomach pain. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that the pain was caused by a corpus luteum rupture, leading to a significant amount of pelvic effusion measuring 78mm. Currently, I don't feel any discomfort. There was no skin breakage. I am taking medication for recovery.Hello, does pelvic effusion resolve on its own? Do I need to be hospitalized for treatment?
Doctor's answer:
Most pelvic effusion is caused by inflammation, specifically due to the leakage resulting from chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. A very small number of cases are caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cysts, or ovarian cancer. For effusion caused by pelvic inflammation, it is best to perform a posterior fornix puncture examination to test the nature of the fluid. Pelvic effusion can heal completely, but effective treatment can only be achieved based on identifying the causative pathogen. To confirm the causative pathogen of pelvic inflammation, special laboratory tests should be conducted, followed by symptomatic medication. Pelvic effusion is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
