Is 2.1cm of pelvic fluid serious?

Pelvic effusion is a common symptom that occurs in the pelvic area. There are two types of pelvic effusion: physiological and pathological. Under normal circumstances, pelvic fluid accumulation will not exceed 1.0 cm. Therefore, if the pelvic effusion is 2.1 cm, it is a more serious symptom and requires timely treatment. Next, I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about pelvic effusion!

1. Is 2.1cm of pelvic fluid serious?

If the pelvic effusion has reached 2.1cm, it is very serious. Under normal circumstances, the range of pelvic effusion is less than 10mm. Within 10mm, it is physiological pelvic effusion, which has no harm to the patient's body and no obvious symptoms. It will be naturally absorbed and disappear after a few months. However, if the pelvic effusion exceeds 10mm, it is pathological pelvic effusion, so 2.1cm is very serious pelvic effusion.

2. Causes of pelvic effusion of 2.1 cm

There are many reasons for the occurrence of pelvic effusion of 2.1 cm. Most patients are caused by inflammation, that is, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated in time and causes inflammatory exudate; the occurrence of pelvic effusion of 2.1 cm may also be caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, ovarian cancer, pelvic abscess or chocolate cyst.

In addition, it is also closely related to the patient's unhygienic daily living habits. For example, having sex during menstruation or within one month after delivery, or taking a bath within one month after surgery, etc., can cause pelvic effusion to develop to a severity of 2.1 cm.

3. Treatment of pelvic effusion

Physiological pelvic effusion does not require special treatment, and a small amount of pelvic effusion can be absorbed on its own. If it is pelvic inflammatory disease or tumor effusion, the amount of fluid will be more than 100 ml, and targeted treatment is required according to the cause.

1. General treatment

Relieve patients' mental concerns, enhance their confidence in treatment, increase nutrition, exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and improve the body's resistance.

2. Medication

If it is caused by inflammation, active anti-infection treatment should be given; if it is caused by a tumor, chemotherapy drugs should be used in combination with surgical treatment.

3. Surgery

Patients with lumps, hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts can undergo surgical treatment; patients with small foci of infection and recurrent inflammation should also undergo laparoscopic exploration. The principle of surgery is to completely cure the disease and avoid leaving any residual lesions. For young women, ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible. The effect of single therapy on chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is poor, so comprehensive treatment is appropriate.
