Does uterine fluid affect pregnancy?

Intrauterine effusion is a common gynecological disease. For women, the occurrence of intrauterine effusion can cause great discomfort to the body. In severe cases, it can cause uterine pain, which greatly disrupts women's lives. There are many dangers of intrauterine effusion, and many women suffer from it. For example, will intrauterine effusion affect pregnancy? Let’s take a look at the explanation below. I hope women can understand it.

Intrauterine effusion refers to the presence of fluid in the uterine cavity, but normally there is no fluid in the uterine cavity (except for the amniotic fluid during pregnancy, but the amniotic fluid is wrapped in the amniotic membrane, forming a "bag" in the uterine cavity). Therefore, uterine fluid accumulation will affect pregnancy.

What causes uterine fluid accumulation

Common causes include: uterine bleeding; endometritis; adhesion and blockage of the cervical canal caused by various tumors; genital malformations; and the effects of the IUD. The primary considerations will vary depending on your age. In adolescent women, most of the problems are caused by reproductive tract malformations, such as cervical malformation, vaginal septum, hymen occlusion, etc.; in women of childbearing age, the main problems are acute and chronic endometritis, cervical injury and adhesion after intrauterine operation, cervical allergy caused by intrauterine contraceptive device, and cellular edema. Based on these clues, combined with the patient's age, medical history, other examinations and ultrasound results, the doctor will check one by one to determine the cause of intrauterine fluid effusion and provide targeted treatment.

What to do if you discover uterine fluid accumulation

1. Reproductive tract malformations require surgical treatment;

2. Anti-inflammatory treatment is required due to inflammation;

3. Women who have had an IUD inserted should remove the IUD first;

4. For cervical adhesion, a probe can be used to separate adhesions and dilate the cervix, and then cervical and uterine cavity secretions can be collected for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing;

5. For suspected tumors, cervical cytology examination, hysteroscopy and diagnostic curettage can be performed;

6. Patients diagnosed with tumors require surgical treatment.

It is normal for women to find a small amount of fluid accumulation during examination before and after ovulation. Uterine fluid accumulation may also occur during early pregnancy. In this case, no treatment is required and it will disappear on its own. Any uterine effusion other than this is pathological and requires timely treatment.
