Patient's question:
05 June physical examination revealed 8.1 cm of pelvic effusion. On July 23, I checked the pelvic effusion at the Third Hospital, which was 7.2 cm, and they said I had pelvic inflammation and prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine. On November 15, I checked the pelvic effusion at another hospital, which was 5.4 cm, and I was very happy at that time. When I returned to the Third Hospital to check the pelvic effusion again, they said I had vaginitis. Since I had been married for 12 years without pregnancy, they also had me tested for chlamydia and mycoplasma, and the results showed Ureaplasma urealyticum was positive. On January 9, 2006, I went to the fertility center for a check-up, and the pelvic effusion was 7.9 cm. They asked me to check blood tests to see if there were other infections, and if there were no infections, they would check other things.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion refers to the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity. It can occur after inflammation of the endometrium, where slightly viscous fluid seeps out from swollen cells in the endometrial tissue and is gradually encapsulated by surrounding tissues, forming a cystic mass. If left untreated, it can grow over time. If it becomes too large, medication cannot eliminate it, and surgery may be required to remove it. Pelvic effusion can be completely cured, but effective treatment must be based on identifying the causative pathogen.
