Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
The causes of pelvic fluid accumulation are varied, primarily including physiological effusion—such as small amounts of fluid that may appear in the pelvic cavity during menstruation or ovulation, which usually resolve spontaneously—and pathological effusion caused by conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, corpus luteum rupture, ovarian cyst rupture, and ectopic pregnancy, which typically require medical intervention. Additionally, pelvic fluid accumulation can also be caused by diseases such as tumors and tuberculosis.
