Patient's question:
I had my period on December 4th, and it still hasn't come by today, January 24th. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and they confirmed I'm not pregnant. There's a significant amount of pelvic fluid. What could be causing this situation? I really want to have a child right now, but I haven't been able to conceive for three months of trying.Doctor's answer:
If you currently have a condition of pelvic effusion, it may be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. Treatment can be administered by taking anti-inflammatory medications. During the treatment period, pay attention to keeping the lower abdomen warm, avoid spicy, irritating, and extremely cold foods, and regularly visit the hospital for follow-up checks to monitor your recovery. You should not have sexual activity while taking medication. Of course, there may also be discharge caused by inflammation, but inflammation is usually accompanied by symptoms. For example, common symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease include lower back pain, abdominal pain, and increased vaginal discharge.
