Why is there pelvic effusion? What is pelvic effusion?

Why is there pelvic effusion? This requires us to have a comprehensive understanding of the causes of pelvic effusion, and understanding the causes of the disease will be of great help to our treatment and daily care. When there is fluid accumulation in the pelvic cavity, it means that women may have gynecological inflammation, and we need to find out the cause and treat it accordingly.

Pelvis effusion is a manifestation rather than a disease. To be more precise, it is a description of fluid in the pelvic cavity by imaging. It can be divided into physiological pelvic effusion and pathological pelvic effusion. Pathological pelvic effusion may occur after pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis or endometriosis and is the main imaging feature of pelvic inflammatory disease.

What are the causes of pelvic effusion? The following is a detailed introduction to the causes of pelvic effusion:

Because the pelvic cavity is the lowest part of the abdominal cavity in the whole body, when there is exudate or transudate, it will be drained into the pelvic cavity, thus forming pelvic effusion. There are several main causes of pelvic effusion:

1. Infection after gynecological surgery: When female friends undergo some artificial surgery, IUD insertion surgery, hysterosalpingography, etc., if the disinfection during the operation is not very strict, it is easy to cause infection problems for women after the operation. Moreover, if women do not pay attention to their personal hygiene after surgery, do not follow the doctor's instructions for recovery treatment, have sexual intercourse too soon after treatment, etc., these will cause bacteria to continue to grow and lead to pelvic infection in women, causing pelvic inflammation in women. Therefore, female friends must pay attention to personal hygiene during surgery to avoid infection.

2. Spread of inflammation in adjacent organs: Some female friends may suffer from appendicitis or peritoneal inflammation, and the female reproductive organs are nearby. If the inflammation is not treated in time, it can easily spread and eventually lead to inflammation in the female pelvic area. Some female friends suffer from chronic cervical inflammation. The inflammation will circulate blood through the lymph and eventually cause inflammation of the connective tissue in the female pelvic area.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation: When women have their period, the endometrium will fall off, so the blood sinuses inside the uterine cavity will be open and there will be coagulated blood clots, which is very suitable for the growth of bacteria. Therefore, if female friends do not pay attention to their personal hygiene during menstruation, or do not use standard sanitary napkins, toilet paper, etc., or have sexual intercourse during menstruation, it provides a good opportunity for bacterial growth and infection, which will cause female pelvic inflammatory disease.

4. Postpartum and post-abortion infection: After childbirth and artificial abortion, women’s bodies have suffered a lot of damage, so their bodies are very weak, and their body resistance and immunity are relatively low. At this time, the female cervix is ​​also in a state of expansion. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene at this time, all the bacteria in the vagina and cervix may continue to ascend and cause female pelvic infection.
