Patient's question:
After getting pregnant, I was diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease and 5.1 cm of pelvic effusion. I underwent 4 days of physical therapy and intravenous drip treatment before having an abortion.Previous treatment and outcomes: Before the surgery, I had a re-examination, and the pelvic effusion reduced to 3.7 cm.
Type of help needed: The cost of physical therapy is too high, and I would like to use only medication instead.
Today is the third day after my abortion surgery, and I still need to receive intravenous antibiotics.
Doctor's answer:
First, if there is pelvic inflammation, it may potentially lead to adhesions in the fallopian tubes, resulting in conditions such as ectopic pregnancy or infertility. The amount of pelvic effusion you have is quite significant, so please do not ignore it. The anti-inflammatory injections you are currently receiving can help reduce inflammation. Follow your doctor's advice for treatment. After a period of treatment, you should have a follow-up examination to assess the effectiveness. If the results are not satisfactory, it is recommended to try physical therapy as an alternative.
