Physiological pelvic effusion, usually without treatment

Pelvic effusion can be physiological or pathological. Women should not worry too much about physiological pelvic effusion, as it generally does not require treatment. Physiological pelvic effusion is not a bad thing. If it is pathological pelvic effusion, it is related to inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease.

1. Physiological pelvic effusion: Because the pelvic cavity is the lowest part of the abdominal cavity in the whole body, when there is exudate or leaked fluid, it will be drained into the pelvic cavity, thus forming pelvic effusion. Some normal women will have a small amount of blood accumulated in the pelvic cavity during menstruation or ovulation, forming 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 pelvic effusion. If the fallopian tube is blocked, it will cause hydrosalpinx and fallopian tube thickening. The fluid in this pelvic effusion is generally small and will be gradually absorbed, so there is no need to be afraid. Generally no treatment is required.

2. Pathological pelvic effusion In clinical practice, pelvic effusion in most women is caused by inflammation, which is the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvis. If not treated, it can slowly grow. If it is too large, it cannot be easily eliminated by medication and surgery is required. Pathological gynecological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis are often related to the patient's bad hygiene habits, 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.

3. 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 ruptured ectopic pregnancy, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer. Pelvic effusion is rarely caused by tuberculosis
