The following are the tests for pelvic peritonitis:

1. Laboratory diagnosis: Fluid can be extracted by abdominal puncture and posterior fornix puncture, which is mostly light yellow, thin bloody fluid, yellow exudate or pus. It can be sent to a laboratory for testing or bacterial culture. The number of peripheral blood white blood cells and neutrophils increases, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate accelerates, and pathogenic bacteria can be cultured from cervical secretions or blood.

2. Ultrasound examination: When an abscess is formed, a tumor can be detected by B-type ultrasound examination. Its outline is often irregular, with dense echoes around it and an echo-free area inside.

In addition to the situations regarding pelvic peritonitis described above, medicine currently has relatively effective and mature treatments for pelvic peritonitis. However, because everyone's physique is different and the causes of disease are different, the treatment methods used for different patients are also different.
