General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

POD is Pouch of Douglas, which is visualized to rule out any free fluid, ectopic pregnancies, autoamputation of ovaries, etc. A POD which is free, reports no such abnormalities, and is considered a normal study.

A POD positive, could indicate the presence of free fluid(hemoperitonuem) or substances. Please discuss this with your doctor at the earliest.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
