Does ectopic pregnancy cause fluid accumulation in the pelvis?

Patient's question:

Does ectopic pregnancy cause fluid accumulation in the pelvis? What are the general reasons for this question???

Doctor's answer:

Ectopic pregnancy does not necessarily lead to pelvic effusion. When an ectopic pregnancy has not ruptured again, there should be no pelvic effusion. If there is pelvic effusion, it indicates that the ectopic pregnancy has ruptured. Ectopic pregnancy is a dangerous pathological condition of early pregnancy. When it has not ruptured again, conservative treatment can be used, with medication to terminate the pregnancy. If the ectopic pregnancy ruptures again and causes bleeding, immediate surgical treatment is required.
