Will beating cause pleural effusion?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Could you please tell me if being hit could cause pleural effusion?

Doctor's answer:

This situation is difficult to determine without proper consideration. The appraisal agency and the owner of the hospital are both involved, and they will hold a joint consultation and negotiate together. For rib fractures, the X-rays taken on the first day are usually used as a reference, while the follow-up X-rays taken three to five days later are considered definitive. By then, the hematoma around the fracture has absorbed, making it clearer to see. Those frequently engaged in clinical practice often know that the follow-up X-rays frequently show more fractures than the initial ones.
