Is uterine fluid water or blood?

Intrauterine effusion is a very common gynecological disease. If the condition is mild, patients do not need to take any treatment. However, more serious patients should undergo systematic treatment and examination. Generally speaking, intrauterine effusion is caused by some inflammatory diseases. After it occurs, drug treatment should be started as soon as possible. Only in this way can the condition not be easily worsened.

Except for a small amount of physiological fluid accumulation before and after ovulation (a small amount of fluid accumulation before and after ovulation is normal), all other uterine accumulations in women are pathological.

Pathological effusion

It is mainly caused by pelvic inflammation (referring to inflammation of pelvic organs such as endometritis, salpingitis, ovarian cysts, etc.), which can cause irregular menstruation, sexual dysfunction, infertility, etc. in women, and must be treated systematically and scientifically. Because most of the infectious pathogens are ineffective against broad-spectrum antibiotics (they should be used under the guidance of a doctor), which often leads to prolonged course of the disease and repeated attacks, it is a major problem in treatment. It is very important to completely cure the inflammation. If the treatment is not thorough, it may directly affect conception or cause ectopic pregnancy, seriously threatening women's health.

Uterine effusion is 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 uterine 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.
