Dr. Lv Aiming
A 13-year-old girl with pelvic effusion may have underlying digestive system disorders such as chronic diarrhea, indigestion, or long-term constipation, which can lead to intestinal dysfunction. If the amount of pelvic fluid is small and accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain, it could be caused by acute or chronic appendicitis. It is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital, identify the underlying cause, and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment to prevent worsening of the condition and increased treatment difficulty.
