Pouch of Douglas Fluid: Treatment Options

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

A mild fluid collection in the pouch of Douglas is commonly seen in women and does not necessarily indicate an infection. The pouch of Douglas, situated between the rectum and the back of the uterus, naturally allows for fluid accumulation. In most cases, no specific treatment is needed for this condition. However, if there are worrisome symptoms or signs of infection, such as pelvic pain, fever, or abnormal discharge, further evaluation and appropriate treatment may be required. It is crucial to seek a thorough assessment and personalized advice from a healthcare professional based on your individual circumstances.

Thanks
