What Does "Minimal Free Fluid In P.O.D" Mean?

Hello Doctor, my daughter's( 15 years ) report of Lower Abdomen shows "Minimal free fluid in P.O.D". Her right ovary measures 20.5 X 11 mm while that of left ovary is 26.8 X 8.4 mm. Uterus is anteverted, normal in size and rest of the findings are within normal limits and no abnormal mass seen. Please guide me what is P.O.D. fluid and what is her problem and treatment etc.

HI
POD refers to the pouch of Douglas which is the space behind the uterus and in front of the rectum.

Since the fluid is minimal it may not mean anything but it could represent ovulation or pelvic inflammatory disease--infection in the ovaries and tubes
