Patient's question:
I had pelvic inflammatory disease last year, a gynecological condition. After receiving treatment for a period, my condition improved, so I stopped further treatment. However, in the last two days, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, more white spots, and frequent lower back soreness. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out I have pelvic effusion.What assistance is needed: Can pelvic inflammatory disease lead to pelvic effusion?
Doctor's answer:
Pelvic fluid in gynecology is divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological pelvic fluid often occurs in women after menopause or in the early stages of pregnancy and can usually disappear naturally, requiring no treatment. In clinical diagnosis, the majority of pelvic fluid in women is caused by inflammation, indicating the presence of inflammatory exudate. If left untreated, it can gradually increase in size. When it becomes too large, medication may not be able to completely eliminate it, and surgical treatment may be necessary.
