A member asked:
I went to the doctor today and they done a ct scan to check to see if it was my appendix dr said there was fluid in my pelvic area is this dangerous ?

Not really: In young women it is common to have a small amount of free fluid in the pelvis. As long as the appendix was normal, there should be no issues.
