Fluid In Pelvic Area (Page 1)

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...

I have the same thing, It hurts doesnt it!? I also have sciatica..which doesnt help.
Im being sent to a ob gyn..and they think it could be endometriosis or PCOS... sometimes easily dealt with sometimes not. Im keeping myself optimistic... Hope all the best for you even though its been 5 years Lol♥

I have been told that the fluid is from ruptured cysts by my gynecologist, or it could be because I do alot of cardio running etc. ?? By the RN at the ER.
I went to the ER yesterday beacuse the pain in my abdomen (lower right side) & lower
back/tailbone was debilitating. I believe I also have sciatic issues. The pain and open ended answers are frustrating. I've had Ct's, pelvic & transvag ultrasound, bloodtests, cultures... and they just find fluid....I cannot believe the pain!

Hi, If anyone has experienced this please help I have the most extreme pelvic pain I just want to cry have had it for 6 weeks have been to 3 Doctors 2 men and one women the two males told me I was fine they did blood tests and checked me for tumor markers did swabs and pap smears and all came back fine now tried lady doctor and she has sent me for ultra sound and came back with a thickened uterus and small cyst on left ovarie has told me she does not think anything sinister is wrong but Im so unhappy and sore she is sending me for more blood on Monday and Hormone checks and then back for repeat ultrasound 5 days after starting period. The pain seems to be worst mostlly in the late afternnoon early evening does anyone know whats going on its affecting legs, back and my mind now as the 2 male doctors made me think I was imaging it . Please help.

I am in horrible pain in my pelvic area and my back. I had an ultrasound and they found fluid in my pelvic area. They stated that a cyst had burst and that is what is causing the severe pain. Has anyone experienced the pain in their back as well as their pelvic area? Of course, I have convinced myself that something is wrong with my kidneys but the doctors state it is from my burst cyst.

I just found out yesterday that I too have fluid in my lower left pelvic area. It showed up after a CT scan. Now Dr is sending me for an MRI. It appears from these posts that I am lucky in that I don't have pain. Am I reading correctly that most of you are being told it is related to cysts?

I too have been told that I have fluid in my pelvic area. The blood tests show that my platelets are very low thus indicative that I'm probably fighting an infection. I have gone through ultra sound CT scan and more blood tests. It all began about 4 weeks ago the bloating and pain in the abdomen. Pain is not as bad as other readers, but none the less quite unnerving. I have scheduled an appointment with my Gbyn as instructed. Let's hope we all get better.

I also have pain in right kidney area and it comes around the front very very painful and fluid in my pelvic area that they found in a CT looking for kidney stones I have an ultrasound comming up soon, don't know the cause, they say maybe cyst have burst, I have female issues since birth of my daughter in 2005, test after test and so on, very upset no one knows whats wrong.

I was at the er 2days ago for my kidneys and they did the CT looking for kidney stones 2 days later they tell me I have fluid on my pelvis..I'm really freaking out about all of this. Has anyone gad a positive out come..

I would like to know where all of the women on this forum are from to see if it is happening in a specific area.

I have the same thing also it hurts very much i am going to get tests done soon

To the concerned dad. Do you think that this coud be cause from something environmental??? Is that why you want to know what area everyon is from??? My baby sister age 35 is on year post op radical hysterectomy and had a CT last week because of pelvic pain and she had fluid in her pelvic area also!!!! Is fluid in the pelvic region really abnormal or do we all have it and we don''t know that we do?????? She is from Floyd, County, Gerogia.

I Also Found Out That I Have The Same Thing Fluid in my pelvic I'm A 51 year old womand Black going through menapause had an ultrasound as well as a interal pelvic exam on friday found out i have fibroids and a cyst I see none of the dr on here can answer this either. There is no pain except for a little ting in my lower belly and I'm getting a stomach can this be treated

i had a mri scan 5 weeks ago.my doc sed i have a cyst but also pelvic fluid.she sed she didnt no why and i have an appointment with a gyn on the 30th june.i dont have pain or bleeding.has any 1 got any answers please u can write me, many thanx

I went to all the testing as mention in this forum to find out what is causing the pain I get periodically in my Left Pelvic area,aside from the Fibroids in my Uterus which I have since 2005, they've found Fluid in the Pelvis, my GYN does not seem to be concern, she would like me to get another Ultrasound in 6 mths.
My internist did not found any hernia it that area, she thinks it might be a muscle strain from practicing Yoga and Pilates.

I am so glad I found this site. I went to the doctor today with severe abdominal pain and cramps. I have IBS already and we have been sure I have been suffering from a GI bug. I had to go back today because of the pain. She immediately sent me for a CT scan of my appendix and right ovary. Appendix was fine, but scan showed small cyst and they said fluid on my pelvis. I had NO clue. I lot of things make alot more sense now. Do we know how to get rid of it? What about the cyst? Never had any, thats scary enough for me.

Hello so glad I found this site. I have been having pelvic pain for about 2 years. Went for and ultra sound back in May and they saw a mass on the left ovary it was measured at 2.8 x 2.4 x 2.4 cm Just went back for another scan and it is measured at 5.9 x 3.2 x 4.4 cm it is complex and with both solid and cystic components what does this mean help

When I was 23 my left ovary grew into a tumour the size of four babies, my GP said I was pregnant, I had to insist on further tests and they found out it was my ovary. They removed the ovary and all was fine, I had a scan today and they said there was some fluid in my pelvis, I was quite worried hence my finding this site. I just wanted to thank you all for your stories as it has comforted me. I also wanted to say to those that are experiencing pain and have not had a diagnosis from their doctor to go back and insist on getting checks. My GP was supposed to sepcialise in womens helth and she didnt spot it. Get checked!!

I also have had pelvic pain on my lower left side and it gradually went into my other side around to my back and even up into my ribs I've also had some chest pain it's mostly a dull aching and I'll get frequent sharp pains randomly all over my body had a CT scan and all they found was fluid in my pelvic area has anyone else had pain in their ribs and chest too?

I have felt pain like that. Bout a month ago I even woke up with a severe pain beneath my right rib cage. It lasted about 7 hours and finally dulled down to almost nothing and now I feel no pain there. I dont know about fluid in my pelvic region but for years I have had alot of fluid problems coming from me. Last year I also started to bleed every day for 5 months, some days would be heavy, others would just be spotting, finally I was sent to the emergency room and learned I was anemic because of this. I had to get an ultrasound, Im not sure what they found with the tests, they never really informed me of anything except to say my ovaries stopped working. I went to a gyno for the first time, before the ultrasound, and they declared me fine, no problems down there .. so I dont know. Im very confused. Dealing with discharge for years, on and off bleeding and pain in many parts of my body.

HI, in 2006, I began having bouts of off-and-on bleeding myself! Was severe! I swore it looked like I was bleeding out tissue. Went to countless doctors. Most said it was just heavy Menstrual cycles. In 2010 I found out I had Hypothyroidism (which explained the tiredness,hair-loss, and brittle nails) and b/c of this, the imbalance of hormones caused abnormal menstrual cycles...none-the-less, when I had them, they were heavy. I dealt with it. I gained lots of weight and I finally decided to see a Dr about weight-loss where they performed blood work and found out I was severely anemic. Then had to see an OB-Gyn. WE decided on partial hysterectomy since I could not take the side effects to heavy bleeding (bed-ridden/severe bleeding/cramping/back pains/muscle aches)...I want to stress, it felt like I was having a miscarriage and also looked that way! After the hysterectomy, the pathology report showed it was Adenomyosis (bleeding tissue inside of uterus wall) and the only way it was ever going to stop is by hysterectomy(the only cure for adenomyosis). I had also had previous endometriosis. Now sonograms throughout the years had constantly showed thickening of the lining of uterus and None of the doctors did anything about it! Now, after hysterectomy, I'm having pain in upper abdomen and recently had a Cat scan and colonoscopy. The cat scan showed large amounts of fluid in the pelvic area and large cyst. But there is still no answers to why there is fluid in pelvis area and tightening muscle cramping (or bulge/lump) in abdomen wall. Anyhow, this has all taken place in the last 6 weeks so my GI doctor took biopsies of places in the GI tract to find out why I'm still a bit anemic and as for the fluid in pelvis, i will have to go back to my OB-Gyn..I have read something about this thing called "febrile morbidity"... will know more later this week! Anyone else experiencing abdominal pain/tightening/bulge after partial hysterectomy and fluid in pelvis??? and know why???

hi confusegirl725. I actually have the same symptoms. back pain, pain in the hip area and left groin. Now with the chest pain as well and left stomach pain. I was diagnosed with a small inguinal hernia but when they did the laporoscopy, there was no hernia at all.

I was very upset going through the procedure for something that did not actually exist. The surgeon said there was a cyst in the uterus and liquid in the pelvic area. She took a sample and sent the liquid for some test. there's no result yet but I'm praying that it not something serious.
