Dr. Chen Zhe
Pelvic fluid after intercourse may be due to physiological or pathological factors. Physiological pelvic fluid may occur when a small amount of follicular fluid released during ovulation enters the pelvic cavity. Pathological causes may include conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, salpingitis, or endometritis, which may also be accompanied by discomfort such as lower abdominal pain and nausea.
