Patient's question:
Last Saturday, I had an abortion without anesthesia. Today, I went for a follow-up check-up, but there's still blood not expelled. The ultrasound showed fluid in the uterine cavity. What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion refers to the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity. It can occur after endometritis, where slightly viscous fluid is secreted by swollen cells in the endometrial tissue and gradually forms a cystic mass as it is encapsulated by surrounding tissues. If treatment is needed, you can choose to use antibiotics and dexamethasone simultaneously. Physical therapy can also be employed, with common methods including shortwave, ultrashortwave, iontophoresis (which can be combined with various drugs such as penicillin, streptomycin, etc.), paraffin therapy, and others.
