Patient's question:
Today I went for a thorough check-up to examine the complete recovery of the uterus. The examination revealed a minimal amount of pelvic effusion. The doctor asked if I had any abdominal pain, and I said no. She mentioned it might be the start of my period, as this phenomenon can also occur before menstruation. I'm not sure, but I'm worried about developing pelvic inflammatory disease. Will a pre-menstrual check-up of the uterus lead to pelvic effusion?Doctor's answer:
This is an effusion caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. If pelvic effusion is not treated properly, its harmful effects are significant, easily leading to pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, and ultimately infertility. If you experience lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral discomfort, increased vaginal discharge, or lower abdominal tenderness and cord-like thickening during a gynecological examination, these may be symptoms. Taking traditional Chinese medicine can both anti-inflamm and lower the body's immunity, so it can either cure or exacerbate inflammation. To promote the resolution of inflammation, slow down blood circulation, relieve adhesions, and stabilize local nutrition, you can apply warm compresses to the lower abdomen daily.
