Patient's question:
Today I had an ultrasound, and there was a 15mm fluid-filled area in the rectouterine pouch. Can this confirm pelvic inflammatory disease? Currently, I have mild lower abdominal pain, but it's not severe.Doctor's answer:
This is an effusion caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. If pelvic effusion is not treated properly, its harmful effects can be significant, easily leading to pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, and ultimately infertility. If you experience lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral soreness, increased vaginal discharge, or lower abdominal tenderness and cord-like thickening during a gynecological examination, it is recommended to seek active treatment. To promote the resolution of inflammation, slow down blood circulation, relieve tissue adhesion, and stabilize local nutrition, apply warm compresses to the lower abdomen daily.In addition to medication for treating pelvic effusion, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood. At the same time, patients should choose a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
