What is the reason for 1.3 cm of pelvic fluid?

Many women find fluid accumulation in the pelvis during gynecological examinations, and the fluid accumulation reaches 1.3 cm. So women feel panic at this time. What kind of harm does pelvic fluid cause to the human body, and what are the different types? In response to these issues, we will now analyze in detail the physiological and pathological factors of pelvic effusion, hoping that everyone can understand it more scientifically.

1. Physiological pelvic effusion: The pelvic cavity is the lowest part of the abdominal cavity in the whole body. When there is exudate or leaked fluid, it will drain into the pelvic cavity, thus forming pelvic effusion. Some normal women will have a small amount of blood accumulated in the pelvic cavity during menstruation or ovulation, forming pelvic effusion. Such pelvic effusion is sometimes a good thing, which proves that the woman's fallopian tube is unobstructed. If the fallopian tube has exudation, if the umbrella end is unobstructed, a small amount of exudate will flow into the pelvic cavity, thus forming pelvic effusion. If the fallopian tube is not unobstructed, it will cause hydrosalpinx and fallopian tube thickening. Such pelvic effusion usually contains less fluid and will be gradually absorbed, and generally does not require treatment.

2. Pathological pelvic effusion: Pathological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis 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. If there are chronic infection lesions, it may be caused by inflammation of the gynecological system such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes in the pelvic cavity, causing pelvic effusion. It may also be caused by tuberculosis or tumors. In a few cases, it is caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer. Pelvic effusion is rarely caused by tuberculosis.

Whether it is physiological or pathological pelvic effusion, the impact and harm it causes to women exist. If we always take it lightly and ignore its scientific treatment, the situation will become more serious. Therefore, whether married or unmarried women, they should pay attention to their reproductive health and do a good job of prevention.
