fluid around the cervix

[jess8917]

I just had a pelvic and abdomen ultrasound because I was having pain in my lower right pelvic area.  The doctor called said there is fluid around my cervix and that they wanted me to do another pelvic ultrasound in 6 weeks to check again.  I am wondering is this something that is serious or common?  The doctor didn't really go into too much detail.  She didn't make it sound like a big deal?  I just went to my general practitioner should I be seeing a gyno for this treatment and should I really wait 6 more weeks if I have been having discomfort?  Than you

I would go to gyno just to let them know what's going on.  Most insurances don't require referals for gyno visits. Nothing to kill but 25 bucks and and hour.  Maybe they have more information for you.  At the very least you'd have yourself reasured and less worried.
As I continue to read these boards every day, it astounds me at the numbers of doctors who like to 'wait and see'.  Wait and see for somethings is nesessary, but too much wait and see equals wait and worry.  
I would say if you cannot tollerate the pain, or the fluid is still there after your next scans are done, whichever comes first... and doc still wants to wait, go see someone else.
But still check with gyno.  And make sure they know you are in pain.  You have to listen to your body.  It's trying to tell you something.  
Good luck, Nursemommy
