Patient's question:
In January, during an ultrasound, I was found to have pelvic effusion and inflammation. The right lower abdomen has been feeling cold and painful, especially when it gets cold. My period is usually delayed by 3-5 days, and the amount of blood is normal. I have been with my husband for a year and have not been able to get pregnant. I want to ask if the right abdominal pain is a normal symptom of pelvic effusion. Currently, I want to seek medical treatment and wonder what detailed examinations should be done?What kind of assistance I need: My period is usually delayed by 3-5 days, and the amount of blood is normal.

Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion is an ascending infection caused by conditions such as vaginitis, cervicitis, and endometritis, which have not been effectively treated for a long time. It is commonly characterized by tenderness and rebound tenderness in both adnexal regions, yellow vaginal discharge with a foul odor, lower back and sacral pain, and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. Generally, oral medications and gynecological cephalosporin antibiotics can be chosen for treatment. For patients with recurrent conditions, medication alone may be ineffective, and complementary treatments such as traditional Chinese medicine enemas and pelvic extracorporeal shortwave therapy can be used. During treatment, it is essential to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain warmth, and refrain from sexual activity.
