Patient's question:
I carefully checked and found pelvic effusion. I have already undergone three days of 40-minute physical therapy and have been taking medication at the same time. The doctor said that specialized physical therapy is still needed. I want to know if the physical therapy is effective and how long it needs to be done.Doctor's answer:
Your condition is characterized by symptoms caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and pelvic effusion, which may lead to lower abdominal discomfort and abnormal vaginal discharge. In your case, it is generally caused by recurrent vaginitis. I recommend resting and maintaining good external genital hygiene. If the pelvic effusion is not significant, exceeding one centimeter, it should not be a major issue and may be physiological. Pelvic effusion can also occur during the ovulation period. Physical therapy can be used to treat pelvic effusion, such as iontophoresis, and the treatment typically takes about one week.
