Fluid In Pelvic Area
Posted: 10-15-03 11:53am

I am a breast cancer survivor and I have had a partial hysterectomy and now after an ultrasound I am told I have fluid in my pelvic area and I don't know what that means. The doctor does not want to be specific until I have a catscan.

Fluid In the Pelvis

Dear darcel,

i'm sorry, it must be very unsettling for you not to know what is going on. Waiting on a diagnosis can be quite upsetting. I can only suggest that the reason your doctor is so hesitant to be more specific is because fluid in the pelvic area can be caused by a whole range of different things, and for him/her to guess at this stage without doing a catscan would be quite unprofessional of them. Try to be patient and relax a bit, fluid in the pelvis is not life threatning, just very uncomfortable.

Good luck...
