What should I do if there is a small amount of fluid in the uterine cavity?

A small amount of fluid accumulation in the uterine cavity is also called intrauterine effusion. It is a common uterine disease in women. Generally, there are many reasons for intrauterine effusion. This may be a symptom caused by endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and uterine adhesions. Intrauterine effusion needs to be treated in time. You can take medication to treat it. If it is not dispelled, surgical methods need to be considered.

treat

Pelvic effusion is divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological pelvic effusion often occurs in women after ovulation or in early pregnancy, and can usually disappear naturally without treatment. Clinically, pelvic effusion in most women is caused by inflammation, which is the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvis. It can occur after the endometrium becomes inflamed, and the slightly viscous fluid exudates from the swollen cells of the endometrial tissue, which is gradually wrapped by the surrounding tissue to form a cystic mass. If left untreated, it will be difficult to eliminate with medication and surgical treatment is needed to help.

harm

1. Uterine effusion leads to infertility: If uterine effusion is not properly treated, it can be very harmful and can easily lead to pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, etc., leading to infertility. If you usually have lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral pain, increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal tenderness and cord-like thickening during gynecological examination, etc., chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is considered and active treatment is needed to prevent worsening inflammation and increased fluid accumulation.

2. Uterine effusion causes pelvic inflammation: Most uterine effusions are caused by inflammation, that is, caused by exudation from chronic pelvic inflammation. A few cases are caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer. It is best to perform a posterior fornix puncture examination to identify the nature of the fluid caused by pelvic inflammation.

3. Uterine effusion affects fertility: If there are chronic infection lesions, it may be an inflammation of the gynecological system such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes, or it may be caused by tuberculosis or tumors. It can easily lead to pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, etc., which will affect fertility if left unchecked for a long time.

reason

1. The most common cause is inflammation of the fallopian tube or pelvic peritoneum. When the fallopian tubes become inflamed due to gonococcal infection, tuberculosis infection, chlamydia infection, mycoplasma infection or other bacterial infection, the epithelial tissue of the fallopian tube endometrium can be destroyed, causing the fallopian tube to be blocked. The inflammation can destroy the fallopian tube mucosa and form scars, causing narrowing or blockage of the tube lumen. Sperm and egg cannot meet in the channel, causing infertility.

2. Endometriosis in the fallopian tubes can cause blockage of the fallopian tubes.

3. Some pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus or Gonorrhea spread to the fallopian tubes or pelvic cavity through the vagina, cervix and uterus, causing pelvic peritonitis and serious systemic infection.

4. Secondary infection caused by miscarriage, delivery, pelvic surgery and appendicitis can also lead to fallopian tube obstruction and infertility.

Physiological effusion

It often occurs after ovulation or in early pregnancy and usually disappears naturally without the need for treatment. But most uterine 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. 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. Pelvic effusion often occurs in lower parts of the pelvic cavity, such as the rectouterine pouch. Treating uterine effusion is actually treating pelvic inflammatory disease.
