Patient's question:
This July, I underwent a "Dilation and Curettage" (D&C) procedure (due to a failed medication abortion). In October, an ultrasound revealed pelvic fluid and left ovarian fluid. However, this month, my period has not arrived, and a "pregnancy test" shows pregnancy symptoms. Could pregnancy in my current condition affect the fetus? Is there a possibility of an ectopic pregnancy? What should I do now? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
If your pelvic effusion is no more than 1 centimeter, there is no major problem, because a pelvic effusion of less than 1 centimeter is a physiological accumulation. If your pelvic effusion exceeds 1 centimeter, you can undergo anti-inflammatory treatment, but the fetus can still be kept.It is recommended that you pay attention to regular prenatal examinations, especially the follow-up check of pelvic effusion volume, which is important. At the same time, pay attention to maintaining cleanliness of the external genital area during pregnancy, and use warm clean water for daily cleaning.
