Can a pelvic mass cause uterine enlargement?

The appearance of pelvic masses mainly comes from the female internal reproductive organs. Generally, after the mass appears, the patient will have obvious abdominal pain, difficulty urinating, vaginal bleeding, etc. If a pelvic mass is not treated promptly, it may cause the uterus to enlarge. Generally, patients can be treated with medication, with very good results.

Take antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor. Repeat the B-ultrasound after 7 days to check whether the lump has shrunk. If it has not shrunk and inflammation is ruled out, surgical treatment can be considered.

It is necessary to distinguish whether the pelvic mass is an inflammatory mass or other tumor, as well as its growth site, whether it is in the ovary, uterus or other place.
