A member asked:

Im 33. is fluid behind uterus common u/s finding? what causes it to stay there? whenever i've had it done they see normal amount of fluid behind uterus

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Peritoneal fluid: It is normal for a small amount of peritoneal fluid to rest in the most gravitationally dependent part of the pelvis behind the uterus. If there is a small "lake" in that location, other medical concerns are in play.
