Patient's question:
Last night I went ice skating and got choked by water several times. My stomach hurts a bit. Later, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and they said there was pelvic effusion.Doctor's answer:
When there is a significant amount of pelvic fluid, it is often physiological. Small amounts of pelvic fluid may appear before menstruation, during ovulation, or in early pregnancy. If there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary, and the fluid will absorb on its own. Pathological pelvic fluid is often caused by primary conditions, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or reproductive tumors in the abdomen. Symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating are common, and active diagnosis and treatment are required. If the primary condition gradually improves, the pelvic fluid will also gradually decrease until it disappears.
