History of Treatment and Effect: No treatment administered.

Doctor's answer:

Disease Analysis: Hello, the cystic structure on the right ovary cannot be ruled out as a corpus luteum cyst. The presence of a small amount of fluid in the rectouterine pouch during early pregnancy may also be physiological, as the amount is not greater than 10mm. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination one week after a normal menstrual period following medical abortion to check if there is still a cystic structure and fluid.
Suggestions: If there is still a cystic structure and fluid, it is likely caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. It is necessary to receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. If you have a history of lower abdominal pain, lower back and sacral pain, or other symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease, it is recommended to start intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment immediately after medical abortion.
