What Does Free Fluid In Pelvic Ultrasound Mean?
Hi, How are you, I recently had a pelvic ultrasound and was told that I had Free Fluid in the pelvis and needed to be referred to a GYN. The ultrasound showed Free fluid around the Right Ovary, RT Adnexa, and Cul de sac. I have been having pelvic pain for a while, more abdominal pain than anything. Also, I am on birth control but still have irregular periods. What does Free fluid mean?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Free fluid around the Right Ovary,right adnexa and cul de sac may be due to pelvic inflammatory disease.
Mild free fluid in cul de sac is ovulation related but excessive fluid need attention.
You need proper clinical examination and further investigations.
Proper treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
Get well soon.
Take Care
