Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to have a color Doppler ultrasound examination at the hospital to check the uterus and ovaries. I don't know if color Doppler ultrasound can detect pelvic diseases. I want to check if there are cysts and whether I can get pregnant. Can color Doppler ultrasound provide this information? Should I fast and hold my urine before the examination? What time is the best to go? I would appreciate it if you could guide me. Thank you! Urgent!!Doctor's answer:
Hello, in general, pelvic effusion is usually caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which includes chronic and acute PID. Treatment for acute PID involves supportive therapy, bed rest, and semi-recumbent position to localize the inflammation. A high-calorie, high-protein, and high-vitamin diet is provided, with blood transfusions if necessary to enhance the body's resistance. Antibiotics are administered intravenously. If antibiotic treatment is unsatisfactory, surgical treatment may be considered. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment primarily focuses on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Chronic PID is generally a progression from acute PID, and treatment mainly involves local physical therapy and supportive therapy. For your condition, pelvic ultrasound is generally recommended for examination, and it can usually be detected.
