Pelvic effusion 22mm liquid dark area

Pelvic effusion is a symptom that almost all women experience. A small amount of pelvic fluid is normal and will not affect human health. However, if the pelvic fluid exceeds 10mm, for example, the pelvic fluid reaches 22mm, it is a manifestation of gynecological inflammation and requires timely treatment to ensure the health of the female reproductive system. Below, we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about pelvic effusion in detail!

1. Introduction to pelvic effusion

In modern clinical medicine, pelvic effusion is divided into physiological pelvic effusion and pathological pelvic effusion. Physiological pelvic effusion often occurs in women after ovulation or in early pregnancy, and can usually disappear naturally without treatment. But most pelvic effusion is caused by inflammation, that is, pelvic effusion disease caused by chronic pelvic inflammatory exudation. There are also a small number of female patients with pelvic effusion whose symptoms are caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer. Experts point out that if the patient has pelvic effusion caused by acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, it is often accompanied by bilateral or unilateral lower abdominal pain, as well as lumbar pain. These female patients with pelvic effusion often have a history of abortion or medical abortion. The patient's medical history, symptoms, and physical signs can be combined in detail to determine whether the pelvic effusion is normal or abnormal. If a patient is diagnosed with pelvic effusion with abnormal fluid accumulation, anti-inflammatory measures should be taken immediately until the fluid is absorbed and dissipated.

2. Classification of pelvic effusion

First, physiological pelvic effusion

Because the pelvic cavity is the lowest part of the human abdominal cavity in the whole body, when there is exudate or leaked fluid, it will be drained into the pelvic cavity, thus forming a pelvic effusion. Some normal women will have a small amount of blood accumulated in the pelvic cavity during menstruation or ovulation, forming a pelvic effusion. Such pelvic effusion is sometimes a good thing, which proves that the woman's fallopian tube is unobstructed. If the fallopian tube has exudation, if the umbrella end is unobstructed, a small amount of exudate will flow into the pelvic cavity, thus forming a pelvic effusion. If the fallopian tube is blocked, it will cause hydrosalpinx. The fluid in this kind of pelvic effusion is generally small and will be gradually absorbed, so there is no need to be afraid. Pelvic effusion after fracture generally does not require treatment.

Second, pathological pelvic effusion

Clinically, most women's pelvic effusion is caused by inflammation, which is the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvis. If not treated, it can gradually grow. If it is too large, it is not easy to eliminate with medication, and surgery is required to treat pelvic fluid accumulation. Pathological gynecological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis are mostly related to the bad hygiene habits of patients with pelvic effusion, such as having sexual intercourse during menstruation, within one month after childbirth, taking a bath within one month after gynecological surgery, etc. Medical-induced infection caused by improper disinfection during artificial abortion and induced labor can also cause pelvic effusion. If there are chronic infection lesions, it may be caused by inflammation of the gynecological system such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes in the pelvic cavity, causing pelvic effusion. It may also be caused by tuberculosis or tumors. In a few cases, it is caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer. Pelvic effusion is rarely caused by tuberculosis.

3. Treatment of pelvic effusion

First of all, clinical treatment methods can be used for female pelvic effusion. In other words, there are usually three main clinical treatments for female pelvic effusion: Western medicine, medication, and extraction of effusion. Western medicine treatment basically includes pelvic treatment, physical therapy, infusion and other treatments, but it has not achieved very good results. Because female pelvic effusion is generally caused by chronic pelvic inflammation, it is a chronic disease that requires long-term treatment. Long-term medication can cause dysbacteriosis, leading to the growth of fungi and causing candidal vaginitis in women. Long-term medication can also damage the gastrointestinal function of patients with pelvic effusion and affect their physical health. Extracting accumulated fluid should not be done frequently; it is a means of Western medical examination or symptomatic treatment. Drug therapy is currently the best way to treat pelvic effusion. Drug treatment is the most commonly used method for female patients with pelvic effusion.
