What is the cause of pelvic effusion during pregnancy?

A woman's body is more important after pregnancy, and pelvic effusion is a common gynecological disease in women. Pelvic effusion is also prone to occur after pregnancy.

Causes of pelvic effusion in pregnant women

What is the cause of pelvic fluid effusion after pregnancy? In fact, every woman has pelvic fluid effusion. However, pelvic effusion can only be discovered during a gynecological examination. Therefore, for women, if they are diagnosed with pelvic effusion, they should first ask the doctor whether it is normal or physiological.

At present, in clinical practice, pelvic effusion less than 10 cm is called physiological, while that greater than 10 cm is called pathological. After a woman becomes pregnant, her body will undergo certain changes, such as increased estrogen levels. It is actually normal to be diagnosed with pelvic effusion at this time, but pathological causes cannot be ruled out.

Therefore, women should clarify whether the current pelvic effusion is physiological or pathological. If it is physiological, then no treatment is needed, and it will not have a negative impact on your own health or the development of the fetus. If it is pathological pelvic effusion, you should consult a doctor's advice and combine your own symptoms to determine whether to receive treatment. If treatment is necessary, what kind of treatment should be used to minimize the harm to the fetus.

How to prevent pelvic effusion

Some women feel uncomfortable symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain in their daily lives. Through hospital examinations, they learned that they had pelvic effusion. Pelvic effusion has certain harm to the female body and can also affect fertility. Therefore, women should effectively prevent pelvic effusion in their daily lives. So how to prevent pelvic effusion?

1. Women should pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, pregnancy, delivery and postpartum period to prevent infection.

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

3. Prevention focuses on cleanliness during sex. In female internal genital inflammation, adnexitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease infections, unclean sexual intercourse is an important pathogenic factor. Because some sexual partners are in high spirits before sex, they ignore local hygiene and rush into sex without washing. Inflammation may be confined to one site or may occur in several sites simultaneously, causing pelvic effusion in several sites at the same time.

4. Women should flush their vagina correctly. In order to maintain hygiene, some women often use medicated washes to clean the vagina. This can easily destroy the acid-base environment of the vagina and make it easier to get infected with candidal vaginitis. The correct way to flush is to flush with clean water.

5. Seek medical attention promptly. After the onset of reproductive system diseases, most people will have different symptoms. Acute inflammation may cause serious consequences such as diffuse peritonitis, sepsis, and even septic shock; chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Sometimes there is low fever and fatigue. Some patients develop symptoms of neurasthenia due to the long course of the disease, such as insomnia, lack of energy, and general discomfort. Lower abdominal distension, pain, and lumbar pain are often aggravated after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation. Chronic inflammation can cause pelvic congestion and menorrhagia, menstrual disorders when ovarian function is damaged, and infertility when fallopian tube adhesions and blockages occur.

6. If you get pregnant unexpectedly, you should make good preparations for gynecological surgery. Pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and avoid sexual intercourse for three days before the operation; pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and vagina after the operation, wash the vulva frequently with warm water, change the perineal pad and underwear in time, and prohibit sexual intercourse within 2 to 3 weeks.

7. Pay attention to gynecological examinations.

8. Exercise, strengthen your physical fitness, increase nutrition, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and improve the body's resistance.
