Patient's question:
I've had a dull pain in my abdomen for several months. Initially, I had an ultrasound, which revealed an inverted uterus with fluid accumulation. The doctor said it was nothing and prescribed some medication, but it didn't help. Recently, I went to another hospital for another ultrasound, and the results were the same, though there was a difference in the size of the uterus, and the doctor still said there was no problem. I don't understand what the fluid accumulation means, as the doctor says it's nothing, but I still feel discomfort sometimes. Also, I've been experiencing menstrual cramps for the past few months, and the last time I had my period, there were more blood clots than usual. I don't know what's going on, and it can't be diagnosed? Please help!First follow-up question: What tests must I undergo? When I go to the hospital, what should I do?
