Please contact your gynecologist for guidance. To get a sample of pelvic fluid would require a needle be place in the area and a sample drawn, the same for a suspicious area in/near the spine. None of this would be routine and a thorough evaluation by your gynecologist could guide what if any additional testing needs to be done or if treatment could be started based on existing data.
