I want to ask if pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic effusion are the same?

Patient's question:

Last night, I suddenly had stomach pain. A detailed ultrasound examination revealed a small amount of liquid echoes in the rectouterine pouch, with a depth of about 1.4 cm. Is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and pelvic effusion are different. PID is pelvic inflammation, including inflammation of the uterus and adnexa, and it requires treatment. Pelvic effusion can be divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological pelvic effusion does not require treatment. Pathological effusion may be caused by PID. In addition to timely treatment of PID, patients also need to pay attention to diet, such as eating a light diet daily and staying active. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment to obtain good therapeutic effects.
