What is pelvic effusion? Do you know these?

Pelvic effusion is a disease that some middle-aged women may experience. Pelvic effusion can cause symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, back pain, and high fever. There are many reasons for pelvic effusion. Let’s learn in detail what specifically causes your pelvic effusion.

1. Causes of physiological pelvic effusion

Some normal women will have a small amount of pelvic fluid during menstruation or ovulation. This is because the pelvic cavity is anatomically located at the lowest part of the abdominal cavity. When there is a small amount of exudate, transudate or ruptured bleeding in the pelvic and abdominal organs, the fluid will first accumulate in the pelvic cavity, thus forming pelvic effusion.

For example, during menstruation, a small amount of menstrual blood can flow back into the pelvic cavity, causing pelvic effusion; the accumulation of follicular fluid in the pelvic cavity during ovulation in the middle of the menstrual period can also cause pelvic effusion; for patients with constipation, abnormal intestinal peristalsis can cause a small amount of intestinal fluid to leak out, leading to pelvic effusion.

2. Causes of pathological pelvic effusion

(1) Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation

When menstruation comes, the endometrium will fall off, the blood sinuses inside the uterine cavity will be open, and small blood clots will be present, which is very suitable for the growth of bacteria.

If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene during menstruation, use unclean sanitary napkins, toilet paper, etc., or have sex during menstruation, it provides a good opportunity for bacteria to grow and infect, causing pelvic inflammatory disease in women.

(2) Spread of inflammation to adjacent organs

Women are more likely to develop pelvic inflammatory disease when they suffer from appendicitis or peritoneal inflammation. When suffering from vaginitis and cervicitis, the inflammation will spread upward and eventually lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

(3) Postpartum and post-abortion infection

After childbirth and abortion, the body is weak and the immunity is low. The cervix is ​​in a dilated state. If personal hygiene is not paid attention to, the bacteria in the vagina and cervix may ascend and cause female pelvic infection.
