Patient's question:
No symptoms, the doctor conducted a thorough examination and the results were pelvic inflammatory disease and mild cervical erosion. Then they gave me enemas and intravenous fluids, saying I needed a small surgery to treat the cervical erosion. I took birth control pills, and my period started two days later, but it hasn't ended yet, even after ten days. The hospital charges are also extremely high. Am I being scammed? What should I do about pelvic inflammatory disease and uterine effusion?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion needs to be evaluated based on its amount and symptoms. Minimal pelvic effusion (around 1cm) without symptoms is physiological, as it can occur during a woman's menstrual period or ovulation, requiring no treatment. If the amount is significant and accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, it may indicate pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or other pelvic conditions. In such cases, timely treatment of the underlying cause is necessary.Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological condition with a high incidence rate. It does not require a specific specialist; any gynecologist in a reputable hospital can provide effective treatment. The impact of pelvic inflammatory disease on patients is severe. Once symptoms are detected, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary management should be emphasized, focusing on a light and balanced diet. We hope that patients with pelvic inflammatory disease can receive professional treatment.
