Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can progesterone promote the absorption of fluid?Doctor's answer:
Generally, pelvic effusion can be divided into two types: physiological effusion and pathological effusion. Physiological pelvic effusion often occurs after ovulation or in early pregnancy and usually disappears naturally, requiring no treatment. However, most pelvic effusion is caused by inflammation, which can affect the fetus. It may lead to congenital hypothyroidism in the fetus, also known as cretinism or dwarfism. Newborns with this condition may be slow to react, have difficulty feeding, have distinctive facial features, be mentally retarded, and have short limbs, among other symptoms. It is recommended to consult a hospital for treatment, as well as undergo a prenatal ultrasound to check for any abnormalities and assess whether the fetus is developing normally.
