Patient's question:
I have already finished my period for 2 days. During a health check-up ultrasound, I found 15mm of pelvic effusion. But I'm not divorced, nor do I have a boyfriend, so how could this be? Is it a gynecological disease? What kind of assistance do I need: What should I do? Because I'm not divorced, I'm shy to go to the hospital for a thorough examination.Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be pelvic inflammatory disease, it is recommended to take intravenous antibiotics at the hospital (such as quinolones and metronidazole). It is advised to visit the gynecology outpatient department. This condition is common in gynecology clinics. If not diagnosed promptly, it can develop into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which may lead to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, or ectopic pregnancy, among other issues. This condition may be related to poor menstrual hygiene or sanitary napkins, though it is not necessarily caused by sexual activity.
