What should I do if there is 17mm of fluid accumulation in the uterine rectal pouch?

Fluid accumulation in the uterine rectal pouch often occurs in women after childbirth and is called a complication. Many postpartum women have some doubts, fearing that the accumulation of fluid in the uterine rectal pouch will affect their physical health or have some impact on the health of the baby. So today, in order to solve everyone’s questions, let’s take a look at what to do if there is 17mm of fluid accumulation in the rectouterine pouch?

Pelvic effusion refers to the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity. It can occur after the endometrium becomes inflamed. It is a slightly viscous fluid that exudes from the swollen cells of the endometrial tissue and is gradually wrapped by the surrounding tissue to form a cystic mass. If left untreated, it can slowly grow larger. If it is too large, medication cannot eliminate it and surgery is required to remove it. Pelvic effusion can be cured completely, but it can only be effectively treated after the pathogenic bacteria are identified. In addition to normal pelvic effusion in women due to their physiological characteristics, pathological pelvic effusion is mostly pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are mostly related to the patient's bad hygiene habits, such as having sex during menstruation, within one month after delivery, taking a bath within one month after gynecological surgery, etc. Medical-induced infection caused by improper disinfection during artificial abortion and induced labor can also cause pelvic effusion.

It is best to perform a posterior fornix puncture examination to identify the nature of the fluid caused by pelvic inflammation. If there are chronic infection lesions, it may be an inflammation of the gynecological system such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes, or it may be caused by tuberculosis or tumors. Pelvic inflammatory disease should be treated early, otherwise it will affect fertility. To determine the pathogen of pelvic inflammatory disease, special laboratory tests should be performed and then symptomatic medication should be used. If tuberculosis is suspected, anti-tuberculosis treatment should be given. Draining the effusion is a means of investigation or symptomatic treatment and should not be done frequently. Because simply draining the accumulated fluid will not only fail to cure pelvic effusion, but will also increase the amount of fluid accumulated.

In blind situations, we often tend to panic blindly. Therefore, when facing most illnesses, we must first understand them scientifically to find out whether we are sick or not. After scientifically understanding it, we can make our own judgment and then seek medical treatment to recover our health as soon as possible.
