Patient's question:
Feeling very unwell, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found pelvic effusion. I want to know if 18mm of pelvic effusion is serious?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion is related to pelvic inflammation. Pelvic effusion refers to inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity, which can occur after endometritis, where slightly viscous fluid seeps out from swollen cells in the endometrium, gradually forming a cystic mass tightly wrapped by surrounding tissues. If left untreated, it can gradually grow larger. If it becomes too large, medication cannot completely eliminate it, and surgery may be required. Pelvic effusion can be completely cured, but effective treatment must be based on identifying the causative pathogen. Pelvic effusion poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care, including eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods. It is hoped that patients with pelvic effusion can receive professional treatment.
