Pelvic fluid 1.2 cm

For most women, the term pelvic effusion is not unfamiliar, because it is a phenomenon that almost every woman will experience. There is a certain normal value for pelvic effusion. Generally, it does not exceed 1.0 cm. Therefore, if the pelvic effusion reaches 1.2 cm, it means that the female patient has gynecological diseases. Here we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about pelvic effusion!

1. How much pelvic fluid is considered normal?

Under normal circumstances, physiological pelvic fluid accumulation of less than 10 mm may occur during ovulation and early pregnancy. This is normal and can usually be absorbed by itself within one or two months.

Except during ovulation and early pregnancy, any accumulation of fluid is mostly pathological and requires active treatment. Patients with less effusion should be treated as early as possible. Most pelvic effusions are caused by inflammation, that is, by exudate from chronic pelvic inflammation. A few cases are caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer.

Whether it is pelvic effusion is not determined by the amount, but mainly by whether it is physiological effusion or inflammatory effusion. Therefore, if pelvic effusion occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the disease and missing the best time for treatment.

2. Physiological pelvic effusion

Physiological pelvic effusion refers to purely physiological pelvic effusion without external causes. For example, during a woman's menstrual period, a small amount of menstrual blood is not discharged and remains in the lowest point of the abdominal cavity - the pelvic cavity; for example, during a woman's ovulation period, some ovarian secretions are discharged into the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tubes, forming pelvic effusion. Physiological pelvic effusion is a normal physiological phenomenon in women. If a woman has pelvic effusion, it means that her fallopian tubes are unobstructed.

3. Pathological pelvic effusion

Pathological pelvic effusion is generally caused by inflammation, such as endometritis, adnexitis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. Inflammatory stimulation leads to excessive exudate, which is retained in the pelvic cavity. Pelvic fluid will accumulate over time and slowly increase in size, making treatment more difficult and more expensive. Pathological pelvic effusion is related to menstrual hygiene, sexual hygiene and personal medical history. It is very likely that pelvic effusion is caused by failure to heal gynecological inflammation.
