Hello Doctor,   I have been suffering with pain in my lower abdomen on the left side for the last two months. I consulted a doctor and got the following tests done- USG whole abdomen, Creatinine, Lipid profile, Thyroid, Urine Culture and Routine. The usg shows collection of fluid behind the uterus as told to me by the doctor who checked thye reports. He prescribed me Taxim. After taking those tablets the pain reduced but it is not completely curing. Please suggest..i m worried very much.ThankuReena Pandey
