What is the normal range of pelvic effusion?

The normal amount of female pelvic fluid accumulation should be less than 10 mm. During the menstrual period and the first few days after the menstrual period, some menstrual blood may flow back to the pelvic cavity along the fallopian tube, and a small amount of fluid accumulation can be seen on ultrasound. Or after ovulation, follicular fluid will flow into the pelvic cavity along with the ruptured follicles. The amount is usually very small, and a small amount can be seen on ultrasound. Both of these can disappear naturally, do not require treatment, and will not cause harm to the body.

What are the symptoms of pelvic effusion?

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen

This is the initial symptom before the patient touches the lower abdominal mass. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and position changes, the movement of the tumor in the pelvic cavity involves its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to feel fullness and drop in the lower abdomen or head fossa.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and intra-abdominal tumor

Patients realize that their clothes or belts look tight, simply notice an enlarged abdomen, or occasionally feel a bloated feeling in the morning, combined with bloating discomfort. These are the most common symptoms.

3. Menstrual disorders

Generally speaking, ovarian or even bilateral ovarian cysts do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissue. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine or is caused by ovarian tumors changing the pelvic vascular distribution and causing endometrial congestion; or due to ovarian malignant tumors directly metastasizing to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory effects.
