Does pelvic effusion cause an increase in white blood cells?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pelvic effusion can be divided into two types: physiological effusion and pathological effusion. Physiological pelvic effusion often occurs after ovulation or in the early stages of pregnancy and can usually disappear naturally, requiring no treatment. However, most pelvic effusions are caused by inflammation, specifically due to the exudation of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Pathological effusion can lead to an increase in white blood cells.
