Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My leukorrhea is currently thick, resembling the consistency of paste. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up, but the vaginal discharge test did not reveal any abnormalities. The ultrasound examination, however, detected a small amount of fluid in the pelvis. My external genitalia do not feel itchy, painful, or uncomfortable, but my leukorrhea has been yellow and thick for a long time. Is this related to pelvic fluid accumulation? Is a small amount of pelvic fluid a sign of pelvic inflammatory disease? What medication should I take to get better? What kind of medicine can normalize it? It would be best if it were available over-the-counter.Duration and persistence of the condition: 3 months
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 gradually forms a cystic mass as it is encapsulated by surrounding tissues.The occurrence of pelvic inflammation not only affects women's lives but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a hospital's gynecology department for a vaginal examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
