What is posterior uterine fornix effusion?

Adult women should have regular physical examinations every year, especially gynecological examinations, because women's reproductive organs are very susceptible to bacterial infection and some diseases are already in the late stages when they are discovered. Many women may show fluid accumulation in the posterior fornix of the uterus on their physical examination reports. What is fluid accumulation in the posterior fornix of the uterus? This indicates that there is fluid seepage caused by inflammation inside the uterus. Let’s learn more about it in detail.

Posterior fornix effusion refers to the exudative fluid in the posterior fornix of the vagina caused by inflammation and other reasons. There is a depression behind the junction of the vagina and cervix, and the back of the vagina is adjacent to the large intestine. Semen ejaculated during sexual intercourse and vaginal medications used during treatment are stored in this place.

1. There are many reasons for effusion in the posterior fornix of the uterus, such as:

1. Physiological pelvic effusion: It often occurs after ovulation or in early pregnancy and can usually disappear naturally without the need for treatment.

2. Pathological effusion: It is mostly caused by inflammation, that is, caused by exudation of chronic pelvic inflammation. A few cases are caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer. Those caused by acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are often accompanied by lower abdominal pain (bilateral or unilateral), lumbar pain, and a history of surgical or medical abortion. The specific reason for the effusion is that the serous exudate caused by inflammation cannot be absorbed by the body and slowly accumulates in the body. As for what method of treatment to use, it depends on what caused it. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination first to determine the cause and then receive targeted treatment.

Many times due to pelvic effusion, a disease that is very common in life, many gynecological diseases are caused by pelvic effusion. Pelvic effusion can also cause many diseases, the most common of which is effusion in the posterior fornix of the uterus, which makes people feel abdominal pain or even back pain. So what should we do in life?

2. How to treat posterior uterine fornix effusion

There are two types of rectouterine effusion: physiological and pathological. Physiological effusion occurs before menstruation and the amount is less than 10 ml. Pathological effusion can be seen in all stages of the menstrual cycle and the amount is larger, exceeding 10 ml, indicating pelvic inflammatory disease or adnexitis.

Antibiotics are used for acute treatment. If the treatment is not timely, it will easily turn into chronic inflammation, which is difficult to cure completely. When the symptoms are obvious, antibiotics and other auxiliary Chinese medicines can be used for treatment.

The clinical symptoms are mostly dull pain in the lower abdomen, aggravated during menstruation or after sexual intercourse, irregular menstruation, etc. In daily life, you should pay attention to menstrual hygiene, avoid overwork, etc., and use anti-inflammatory treatment to control it, but it is not easy to cure.
