Hello Dear,

Welcome here on healthcaremagic dot com a site for solving your health problem online by qualified healthcare professional.

I am very much concerned with your problem and certainly will guide you how to get rid of these.

In my view

Free fluid in abdomen means an abnormal fluid in peritoneal cavity,

This is indicative of some pathology in abdominal organs for which your doctor has suggested ultrasound.

I suggest you to

Visit your family doctor for a detail close examination and advice for further treatment.
