Is pelvic effusion 0.9 serious?

Under normal circumstances, pelvic effusion is less than 1.0 cm, so if a woman's pelvic effusion is 0.9 cm, it is a normal phenomenon. This type of pelvic effusion is also called physiological effusion. In this case, women do not have to worry too much about their health. However, if the pelvic effusion exceeds 1.0 cm, timely treatment is required. Here we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about pelvic effusion!

1. What causes pelvic effusion?

1. Failure to pay attention to hygiene during menstruation causes pelvic effusion

Menstruation is a good time for bacteria to grow. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene, use unclean sanitary napkins, toilet paper, etc., or have sexual intercourse during menstruation, it provides a good opportunity for bacteria and can easily cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which usually produces some inflammatory fluid.

2. Spread of inflammation from adjacent organs causes pelvic effusion

Pelvic inflammatory disease is prone to occur when suffering from appendicitis or peritonitis. When suffering from vaginitis and cervicitis, the inflammation may spread upward and may eventually lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and fluid accumulation.

3. Pelvic effusion caused by infection after gynecological surgery

If the disinfection process is not strict during artificial abortion, IUD insertion (removal), salpingography (hydration), etc., it is easy to get infection after the operation. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, do not follow the doctor's advice for recovery treatment, or have sexual intercourse too early after treatment, it may lead to pelvic infection.

4. Pelvic inflammatory disease causes pelvic effusion

If women do not receive timely treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease, the condition will worsen and adverse phenomena such as abscesses will occur. If it is not treated in time, pelvic fluid will accumulate. Therefore, in order to avoid pelvic fluid accumulation, women should go to the hospital for treatment in time after suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease.

5. Hydrosalpinx causes pelvic effusion

Hydrosalpinx is the main cause of pelvic effusion in women. If women do not receive timely treatment after suffering from hydrosalpinx, the accumulation of water will infect the pelvis when it reaches a certain extent, causing women to suffer from pelvic effusion. Therefore, if a woman suffers from hydrosalpinx, she should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

6. Pelvic effusion caused by infection after delivery or abortion

Generally, women’s cervix is ​​not well closed after childbirth or miscarriage, and their body resistance is relatively poor at this time. This can cause bacteria in the vagina and cervix to ascend and infect the pelvic cavity, and may even cause other diseases. Therefore, women should pay attention to personal hygiene after childbirth or miscarriage.

2. Precautions for pelvic effusion

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene: strengthen personal hygiene during menstruation, after childbirth, and after miscarriage, change underwear and sanitary napkins frequently, avoid cold, and avoid overwork.

2. Eat more light food: The diet should be mainly light food. Eat more nutritious foods such as eggs, tofu, red beans, spinach, etc. Avoid eating raw, cold and irritating foods.

3. Avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation: Avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation to avoid infection. Pay attention to the cleanliness of menstrual pads, it is best to use sterilized toilet paper.

4. Drink more water: Pelvic inflammation can easily cause fever, so be sure to drink more water to lower your body temperature.

5. When women suffer from pelvic effusion, they should try to avoid fatty and cold foods, such as fatty meat, crabs, snails, pickled products, etc., and try to eat less. In addition, do not drink alcohol or smoke to avoid affecting your condition.

6. If you suffer from pelvic effusion, do not eat raw or cold foods, such as iced drinks, chilled fruits, etc. In addition, patients with pelvic effusion should eat a light diet and eat more nutritious foods such as eggs, tofu, spinach, etc.

3. Treatment of pelvic effusion

1. Surgical treatment of pelvic effusion

Usually, hysterectomy or total hysterectomy plus bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is used. For young women, the ovarian function is preserved as much as possible.

Surgery is used to treat pelvic effusions and is indicated for patients who have masses such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts or small foci of infection that cause recurrent inflammatory episodes. However, due to the poor effect of single therapy, combined treatment is recommended.

2. Treatment of pelvic effusion with traditional Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine therapy is one of the more common methods currently. Traditional Chinese medicine is purified from pure natural drugs and specifically uses the natural antibacterial factors of traditional Chinese medicine to kill the bacteria, thereby achieving the purpose of treatment. It can cure the disease and recuperate at the same time, and it is safe and has no side effects. Anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used for treatment.

3. Physical therapy for pelvic effusion

Generally, warm and benign stimulation is used to promote local blood circulation in the pelvis, improve the nutritional status of tissues, accelerate the body's metabolism, and achieve the purpose of reducing inflammation.

However, because physical therapy can only eliminate superficial diseased cells and cannot fundamentally repair the disease, and it causes excessive stimulation to the pelvic lining and carries a high risk, it is generally recommended to combine it with medication for treatment.
