Is 13mm of pelvic fluid normal?

It is relatively normal for women to have pelvic effusion, but if the pelvic effusion exceeds the normal range, it is a pathological phenomenon and requires timely treatment. The normal value of pelvic effusion is less than 10mm, so if the pelvic effusion reaches 13mm, it is not considered a normal phenomenon. Next, I will introduce to you the treatment methods of pelvic effusion!

1. General treatment

Relax your mind, increase your confidence in treatment, increase your nutrition, exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and improve your body's resistance.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly of damp-heat type, and the treatment principle is to clear away heat and dampness. The main function of the prescription is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. The prescription uses: Salvia miltiorrhiza 18g, Red Peony Root 15g, Costus Root 12g, Peach Kernel 9g, Honeysuckle 30g, Taraxacum Mulberry 30g, Poria 12g, Moutan Bark 9g, and Rehmannia Glutinosa 9g. If the pain is severe, add 9g of Corydalis yanhusuo. Some patients are of the cold stagnation and qi stagnation type, and the treatment principle is to warm the meridians and dispel the cold, promote qi and activate blood circulation. Guizhi Fuling Decoction is often used with modifications. For those with qi deficiency, add 15g of Codonopsis pilosula, 9g of Atractylodes macrocephala, and 15g of Astragalus membranaceus.

3. Physical therapy

The benign stimulation of warmth can promote local blood circulation in the pelvic cavity. Improve the nutritional status of tissues and enhance metabolism to facilitate the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. Commonly used ones are shortwave, ultrashort wave, iontophoresis (various drugs such as penicillin, streptomycin, etc. can be added), wax therapy, etc.

4. Drug treatment

When using anti-inflammatory drugs, α-chymotrypsin or hyaluronidase can also be used at the same time for intramuscular injection to facilitate the absorption of adhesions and inflammation. The medication should be discontinued if local or systemic allergic reactions occur in individual patients. In some cases, antibiotics are used simultaneously with dexamethasone, which is taken orally and the dose is gradually reduced when the drug is discontinued.

5. Surgical treatment

Patients with lumps such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts can undergo surgical treatment; patients with small foci of infection and repeated inflammation are also suitable for surgical treatment. The principle of surgery is to effectively cure the disease and avoid the chance of recurrence of residual lesions. Unilateral oophorectomy or radical hysterectomy plus bilateral oophorectomy is performed.
