Patient's question:
Lower back pain, body discomfortDoctor's answer:
A small amount of pelvic effusion can be absorbed on its own. If the effusion is caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, the volume of effusion will be more than 100 milliliters. Among the causes of pelvic effusion, tuberculous peritonitis is the most prominent, and it can be detected as a large amount of ascites in ultrasound examinations. It is worth mentioning that infertile women undergoing ovulation induction treatment may have more pelvic effusion during medication, even developing ascites. However, your infertility specialist will determine whether treatment is needed and how to treat it based on your effusion condition.
