What does pelvic effusion mean on color Doppler ultrasound?

During color ultrasound examination, if pelvic effusion is found, it can be judged based on the amount of pelvic effusion. If the pelvic effusion is more than ten millimeters. Generally speaking, pathological pelvic effusion indicates that it is caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. Other symptoms often appear at this time, such as abnormal leucorrhea, etc. At this time, regular treatment should be carried out in time.

What does pelvic effusion mean on color Doppler ultrasound?

If your leucorrhea is abnormal, you can go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and take a sample of your leucorrhea for routine testing to see if there is fungal, trichomonal or bacterial infection, to find out whether the size of your uterus is normal and whether your uterus is tender. If you also have abdominal pain, you can consider anti-inflammatory treatment. At the same time, appropriate treatment will be given based on the results of leucorrhea tests.

How to prevent pelvic effusion

1. Make good preparations for gynecological surgery, pay attention to keeping the vulva clean, avoid sexual intercourse three days before the operation, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and vagina after the operation, wash the vulva with warm water, replace the perineal pad and underwear in time, and prohibit sexual intercourse within 2 to 3 weeks after the operation.

2. Suffering from acute internal genital inflammation and adnexitis: Pelvic inflammatory disease must be cured thoroughly to prevent it from becoming chronic. This causes water and fluid accumulation.

3. Sexual life: Women should pay attention to not having sexual life during menstruation. They should not have sexual life when suffering from pelvic effusion. Female patients have symptoms of lower abdominal distension, pain and soreness in the lumbar region.

4. Prevent the abuse of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Antibiotics, whether taken orally or injected, will inhibit the lactobacilli in the vagina, disrupt the natural ecological balance of the vagina, and change the vaginal microenvironment. Pathogenic bacteria and pathogens may multiply and eventually lead to local candidal vaginitis, which in turn secretes inflammatory fluid and causes pelvic effusion.

Pelvic fluid examination

1. Ultrasound examination

It has an 85% accuracy rate in identifying masses or abscesses arising from adhesions in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and intestines. It is generally used to diagnose more severe pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Direct smear of secretions

It is a common method for diagnosing acute pelvic inflammatory disease. Samples can be taken from the vagina, cervical canal secretions, or urethral secretions for direct thin-layer smears, which are then dried and stained with methylene blue or Gram to detect gonococci. However, the detection rate of cervical canal gonococci is only 67%.

3. Laparoscopy

It can be used for the definitive diagnosis and differential diagnosis of acute pelvic inflammatory disease, and can also make a preliminary judgment on the severity of pelvic inflammatory disease. Laparoscopic examination can be used to treat patients with pelvic inflammatory disease, suspected pelvic inflammatory disease, and other acute abdominal diseases.

4. Pathogen culture

The average sensitivity is 89.5%, with a specificity of 98.4%, and it is widely used in clinical practice.

5. Routine blood test, routine urine test, erythrocyte sedimentation rate

These examinations provide a basis for targeted treatment of acute pelvic inflammatory disease and can basically reduce the misdiagnosis rate of acute pelvic inflammatory disease to a minimum.
