Brief Answer:
Assessment is needed to exclude other causes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

I have gone through your query and would like to offer my opinion.

The presence of free fluid in the pouch of XXXXXXX can be due to several reasons and not limited to pelvic infection alone.

However, if it has been noticed in association with the infection, it should regress in course of time as the infection subsides. Presence of complex fluid is suggestive of pus. Therefore, further evaluation is needed to get a better understanding of the situation. Thus, the time needed for the collection to clear can be guessed.

I would suggest a follow-up along with exclusion of other causes of the collection to help plan further management.

Hope I have answered your query. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
