Does pelvic effusion affect pregnancy?

1. Pelvic effusion is caused by the accumulation of inflammatory secretions of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease in the rectouterine pouch. Sometimes there may be low fever, fatigue, lack of energy, general discomfort, insomnia, etc. Scars, adhesions, and pelvic congestion caused by chronic inflammation can cause lower abdominal distension, pain, and lower back pain. It often worsens after fatigue, sexual intercourse, bowel movements, and before and after menstruation.

The disappearance of pelvic effusion will not affect pregnancy. In addition to normal pelvic effusion in women due to their physiological characteristics, pathological pelvic effusion is mostly due to pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis.

The causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are often related to the patient's bad hygiene habits, such as having sexual intercourse during menstruation, within one month after delivery, taking a bath within one month after surgery, etc. Medical-induced infection caused by improper disinfection during artificial abortion and induced labor can also cause pelvic effusion. It is best to perform a posterior fornix puncture examination to identify the nature of the fluid caused by pelvic inflammation.

Pelvic inflammatory disease should be treated early, otherwise it will affect fertility.
