Patient's question:
Will pelvic fluid turn into peritonitis? I have never had sexual intercourse, but I have had sex (the kind where you with your legs together), and my stomach hurts every month. What should I do, doctor?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion indicates inflammation in the abdominal cavity, and if the inflammation is severe, it can develop into peritonitis. As for the patient mentioning sexual activity with the sheets wrapped around, this does not cause abdominal inflammation, as there is no direct contact. If the stomach hurts every month, the first consideration is menstrual pain. Pelvic effusion is more likely to be caused by inflammation in the abdominal cavity, such as adnexitis, and both conditions can be regulated with traditional Chinese medicine decoctions.
