What Does Mild Fluid Collection At The Pouch Of Douglas Indicate?

I just had an abdominal and pelvic scan. The result of the scan is that there is significant amount inflammatory tissue reaction in both adnexae as well as in the pouch of Douglas causing poor interface between the pelvic organ. There is mild fluid collection at the pouch of Douglas. No mass, no cyesis. What does it mean.
