Patient's question:
I am 21 years old. In October of this year, I went to the hospital for an abortion. At that time, the examination revealed 1.9 cm of pelvic effusion. The doctor wasn't very clear about it, only saying that it was serious for someone of my age and could potentially cause infertility in the future. Is that true?Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, there are two types of pelvic effusion: physiological and pathological. 1. Physiological pelvic effusion: Some normal women may have a small amount of blood accumulated in the pelvic cavity during the menstrual period, ovulation period, and early pregnancy, forming pelvic effusion. Such pelvic effusion usually contains less fluid and gradually absorbs, often naturally disappearing. 2. Pathological pelvic effusion: Pathological gynecological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, or endometriosis. Clinically, most women's pelvic effusion is caused by inflammation, which is inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity. If left untreated, it can gradually grow larger. If it becomes too large, medication becomes less effective. However, with active symptomatic treatment, pelvic effusion can disappear quickly. After the pelvic effusion disappears, it does not affect pregnancy. According to the confirmed results, targeted measures can be taken for treatment, such as general medication, traditional Chinese medicine, physical therapy, and surgery. Wishing you good health!
