Hi,
First of all, do not panic.
Presence of fluid in the pelvis can be due to various reasons. You need to correlate with your clinical picture.
If you are getting a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain and pain during or after intercourse then you can suspect pelvic infection.
Please get gynecologic examination including per speculum and per vaginal examination is done. This will help to confirm and or rule out pelvic infection.
A course of broad-spectrum antibiotics like Doxycycline is advisable.
Before going ahead to get pregnant, please start on vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation. This helps to prevent various complications during conception and pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
