Patient's question:
In mid-August, I had an appendicitis perforation surgery. On September 25th, a check-up showed nothing was wrong. On November 25th, a check-up revealed a right ovarian cyst and pelvic effusion. On December 18th, a follow-up showed pelvic encapsulated effusion and pelvic inflammation. The cervical erosion has been almost two years, and it has now become severe. How did the cyst and effusion occur? Is it related to the infection after appendicitis perforation surgery? What should I do now? Should surgical treatment be considered?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic encapsulated effusion occurs after chronic pelvic inflammation, leading to adhesion and encapsulation. Severe cases can cause ectopic pregnancy.In this situation, the treatment depends on the size of the effusion and clinical symptoms. If the effusion is large and accompanied by pain, laparoscopic surgery can be used. If the effusion is small and the symptoms are mild, medication or physical therapy can be administered first.
