A member asked:

I have significant free fluid in pelvis 3 months ago, had scan today and still showing as significant now ordered a ct scan and laporscopy should i be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pelvic free: fluid might mean undiagnosed infection or even ovarian cancer in rare cases. If your doctor advises laparoscopy, then I would go for it.
