Patient's question:
Pelvic ultrasound reveals a 16 cm fluid-filled dark area, with 1.6 liters of fluid. Is it serious? Will it cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, ultrasound examination revealed a 16-centimeter fluid-filled area in the pelvic cavity, indicating pelvic effusion. This is not a serious condition, so there is no need to be anxious. You can undergo traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Angelica Sinensis (Danggui), Salvia Miltiorrhiza (Danshen), Forsythia suspensa (Nianqiao), Lonicera japonica (Yinhua) each 15g, Carthamus tinctorius (Honghua), Cyperus rotundus (Xiangfu) each 15g, Ligusticum chuanxiong (Chuanxiong) 9g, Coix lacryma-jobi (Yiyiren) 20g, Poria cocos (Tufengling) 20g, Atractylodes macrocephala (Cangzhu). Rhubarb (Yuánhu) and Citrus Peel (Qīngpí) each 12g. If left untreated, it may gradually enlarge. If it becomes too large, medication may no longer be effective, and surgery may be required to remove it. Pelvic effusion can be completely cured, but effective treatment must be based on identifying the causative pathogen.
