How much pelvic fluid is normal?

Gynecological diseases have a great impact on many women, especially the lack of understanding of the disease, which not only greatly increases their chances of getting the disease, but also because of lax treatment after getting the disease, the disease becomes lingering and recurs, bringing invisible pressure to women's lives and work. Pelvic effusion is relatively common, so how much pelvic effusion is considered normal?

Pelvic effusion can be divided into two types according to pathological factors: physiological pelvic effusion and pathological pelvic effusion. Physiological pelvic effusion is not a bad thing for women, but once a woman suffers from pathological pelvic effusion, she should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Pelvic effusion is generally considered normal if it is below 10 and does not require treatment. As for pathological pelvic effusion, in clinical practice, pelvic effusion in most women is caused by inflammation. It is the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvis. If it is not treated, it can slowly grow. If it is too large, it cannot be easily eliminated by medication and surgery is required.

The normal value of pelvic effusion should be less than 10MM. Physiological pelvic effusion is less than 10 mm. During a woman's menstrual period and a few days after her menstrual period, some menstrual blood may flow back along the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity, and a small amount of fluid will be seen on ultrasound. Or after ovulation, the follicular fluid will flow into the pelvic cavity along with the ruptured follicle. The amount is usually very small, and a slightly larger amount can be seen under ultrasound. These two types of diseases can disappear naturally and do not require treatment and will not cause harm to the body.

Most pelvic effusions are due to exudate from chronic pelvic inflammation. If there are chronic infection lesions, it may be an inflammation of the gynecological system such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, endometriosis, ovary, or fallopian tube. 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. Therefore, physiological pelvic effusion requires active treatment.
