Patient's question:
I had a pelvic ultrasound 8 days after my period. All other tests were normal, except for the cervical mucus quality, which was classified as II. However, there was pelvic effusion. How serious is that?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion is generally caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. However, under normal circumstances, pelvic inflammatory disease may also result in a small amount of effusion. As long as there are no symptoms such as abdominal pain, lower back pain, or decreased vaginal discharge, this is not a major issue and may not require treatment for the time being. Additionally, a discharge cleanliness of degree II is normal, indicating no vaginal infection. There is no need for medication treatment.Furthermore, during the treatment period for pelvic effusion, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must ensure adequate intake of vitamins, prevent diarrhea, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
