Patient's question:
05 June physical examination found 8.1cm pelvic effusion. On July 23, I had a pelvic effusion check at the Third Hospital, which was 7.2cm, and they said I had pelvic inflammation, prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine. On November 15, I had another pelvic effusion check at a different hospital, which was 5.4cm, and I was very happy at the time. I returned to the Third Hospital to check the pelvic effusion again, but they said I had vaginitis. Since I had been married for 12 years without pregnancy, they also had me do chlamydia and mycoplasma tests. The results showed ureaplasma was positive. On January 9, 2006, I went to the fertility center for a check-up, and the pelvic effusion was 7.9cm. They asked me to check blood tests to see if there were other infections. If there were no infections, they would check other things.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion refers to the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity. It can occur after inflammation of the endometrium, where slightly viscous fluid leaks from swollen cells in the endometrial tissue and is gradually encapsulated by surrounding tissues, forming a cystic mass. If left untreated, it can grow over time. If it becomes too large, medication cannot eliminate it, and surgery is required to remove it. Pelvic effusion can be completely cured, but effective treatment must be based on identifying the causative pathogen.
