A member asked:
I had a pelvic ultrasound and i was told there was free fluid in pelvic area . i was on my period when the exam was done. could this be the reason?

Free fluid: There are numerous causes of free fluid. In your age group, seeing a small amount of free fluid in the pelvis can be normal. Large amounts are not normal. Your doctor can best tell you the significance of the free fluid, in the context of your clinical picture.
