Patient's question:
The medication for treating pelvic inflammatory disease has shown significant improvement in symptoms. This time during menstruation, there were no symptoms at all. The doctor said it's okay. Three days ago during the menstrual period, I had a vaginal examination at another hospital and it showed 14mm of fluid accumulation. My period lasts seven days and I haven't yet had a complete menstrual cycle. How serious is it, and what treatment should I follow?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion refers to the presence of inflammatory exudates in the pelvic cavity. Pelvic effusion is caused by acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis. It is often accompanied by lower abdominal pain (unilateral or bilateral), lumbosacral pain, lower back soreness with a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, dragging pain, lower back soreness, and other symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is particularly effective for acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. At home, hot water bags, electronic heaters, and hot salt wrapped in cloth can be used for cold compresses. With patience, significant effects can be achieved.There are many treatment methods for pelvic effusion, but since patients have different symptoms, the chosen treatment methods will vary. Therefore, it is essential for patients to seek a prompt diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
