Causes of small amount of fluid accumulation in the pelvis

A small amount of fluid accumulation in the pelvic cavity may be caused by gynecological diseases, so we recommend that everyone should pay attention to checking their bodies in their lives. The main reason for a small amount of fluid accumulation in the pelvic cavity is vaginal inflammation or the menstrual period, so we recommend that everyone take relevant preventive measures in life. Now let us understand the reasons why there is a small amount of fluid accumulation in the pelvic cavity.

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 grow slowly. 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 due to pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are often related to the patient's bad hygiene habits, such as having sexual intercourse during menstruation, within one month after childbirth, 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.

But most pelvic effusions are caused by inflammation, that is, by exudation from chronic pelvic inflammation. A few cases are caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer. Those caused by acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are often accompanied by lower abdominal pain (bilateral or unilateral), lumbar pain, and a history of surgical or medical abortion. The specific reason for the effusion is that the serous exudate caused by inflammation cannot be absorbed by the body and slowly accumulates in the body. Pelvic effusion often occurs in lower parts of the pelvic cavity, such as the rectouterine pouch.

The above is mainly a detailed introduction to the causes and treatments of a small amount of fluid accumulation in the pelvic cavity. Our patients should pay attention to this problem, and it is also very important to develop good living habits and eating habits. If our patients are in serious condition, we recommend that you go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
