I recently went to the Er with awful pain in my lower right abdomen . After many test, including ct scans and ultrasound I was taken into surgery. The surgeon removed my appendix, drained a cyst on my right ovary and fluid from my pelvis . I was told that there was a substantial amount of fluid but no indication that anything had ruptured. A month later I m still having pain and cramping and have been given no answer about the fluid. having pain and cramps but have still not been given an answer n given an answer to why I had free fluid. cyst did not rupture
Fluid in the pelvis can be seen in Appendicitis, Pelvic inflammatory disease etc. As Appendix was removed, it shows that fluid in the pelvis is due to Appendicitis, even though not ruptured. Pain and cramps in the abdomen can be due to infection of gut, adhesions formed due to previous surgery etc. Get a Plain x-ray abdomen in erect posture and ultrasound abdomen if you still have pain. Till then, please take Antispasmodic Dicyclomine and antibiotic Ofloxacin. If you come back with reports, i can clarify furthering you good healthRegards
