Can pelvic effusion cause leg pain?

Pelvic problems are of great concern to women, because many women complain about gynecological problems caused by pelvic problems. For example, pelvic effusion is a very destructive disease that can cause great damage to women's lives, and it is also very difficult to treat and can induce other disease problems. For example, will pelvic effusion cause leg pain? Let's take a look at the explanation below.

Pelvic effusion generally does not cause leg pain symptoms, and the cause needs to be examined and treated.

Clinical manifestations

1. Feeling of falling, pain in the lower abdomen and lumbar sacral region

The main symptoms are a feeling of heaviness and pain in the lower abdomen on one or both sides. Scar adhesions and pelvic congestion caused by chronic inflammation lead to lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar and sacral soreness.

2. Decreased immunity

The systemic symptoms of pelvic effusion are mostly not obvious, and sometimes there may be low fever and fatigue. Some patients with a long course of illness may have symptoms of neurasthenia, such as lack of energy, general discomfort, insomnia, etc. When the patient's resistance is poor, acute or subacute attacks are likely to occur.

3. Menstrual disorders

Patients with concurrent pelvic congestion may have increased menstruation; when ovarian function is damaged, there may be menstrual disorders; when the fallopian tubes are blocked by adhesions, it may cause female infertility.

4. Infertility

If pelvic inflammatory disease causes blockage of the fallopian tubes, infertility will occur. Clinical examination will reveal that the patient's uterus is retroverted, uterine activity is restricted, or adhesions have occurred.

treat

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.
