Patient's question:
I had my period on April 27th and am preparing to get pregnant. This month, I went to the hospital to monitor ovary data. On May 11th, the ultrasound showed a left ovarian follicle of 169 mm and also mentioned 5 mm of pelvic fluid. On May 14th, the ultrasound showed a left ovarian follicle of 1813 mm and 14 mm of fluid. Why could the pelvic fluid increase so much in just two days?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the effusion does not exceed 10mm, it is normal and does not require treatment. If the effusion is below 10mm, it should be considered as pathological pelvic effusion, mainly caused by chronic pelvic inflammation. It is recommended to identify the pathogenic bacteria for targeted treatment to help patients face the interference of pelvic effusion. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the pelvic effusion does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
