The findings suggest that small volumes of pelvic free fluid in healthy men can be normal and do not necessarily indicate underlying disorders. The role of free fluid identification as an indicator of major intra-abdominal disorders must be viewed with caution and with careful clinical correlation.

Significance of Pelvic Fluid Observed during Ovarian Cancer Screening with Transvaginal Sonogram
The primary objective was to examine the role of pelvic fluid observed during transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in identifying ovarian malignancy. A single-institution, observational study was conducted within the University of Kentucky Ovarian Cancer Screening trial from January 1987 to September 2019. We analyzed true-positive (TP), false-positive (FP), true-negative (TN), and false-negative (FN) groups for the presence of pelvic fluid during screening encounters. Measured outcomes were the presence and duration of fluid over successive screening encounters. Of the 48,925 women surveyed, 2001 (4.1%) had pelvic fluid present during a TVS exam. The odds ratio (OR) of detecting fluid in the comparison group (TN screen; OR = 1) significantly differed from that of the FP cases (benign pathology; OR: 13.4; 95% confidence interval (CI): 9.1–19.8), the TP cases with a low malignant potential (LMP; OR: 28; 95% CI: 26.5–29.5), TP ovarian cancer cases (OR: 50.4; 95% CI: 27.2–93.2), and FN ovarian cancer cases (OR: 59.3; 95% CI: 19.7–178.1). The mean duration that pelvic fluid was present for women with TN screens was 2.2 ± 0.05 encounters, lasting 38.7 ± 1.3 months. In an asymptomatic screening population, free fluid identified in TVS exams was more associated with ovarian malignancy than in the control group or benign ovarian tumors. While pelvic free fluid may not solely discriminate malignancy from non-malignancy, it appears to be clinically relevant and warrants thoughtful consideration.

Fluid in the Pelvis | Emory School of Medicine
Identifying a pelvic free fluid on FAST exam in a patient following a motorcycle crash. Their patient is a 24 yo female who was involved in a motorcycle accident. Initially, the patient was normotensive with a heart rate in the 80s. Views in the LUQ and RUQ did not initially show obvious free fluid. In the sagittal view of the pelvis, shown below, there is a collection of free fluid posterior to the bladder. The fluid is not completely anechoic (black) - this is sometimes seen with blood. To get this image the probe is placed just above the pubic symphysis with the indicator marker pointed towards the head. To visualize structures posterior to the bladder you will often need to rock the probe so you are pointing into the pelvis.
