How to distinguish pelvic effusion from pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic effusion and pelvic inflammatory disease are both common gynecological diseases. Pelvic effusion is not pelvic inflammatory disease, but the two are related. Pelvic effusion is a factor causing pelvic inflammatory disease.

Pelvic effusion is often caused by acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, often accompanied by bilateral or unilateral lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral pain, low back pain, lower abdominal distension and pain, low back pain; or due to long-term standing, overwork, sexual intercourse, or premenstrual aggravation, severe cases affect work. Or lower abdominal pain, or increased leucorrhea, menstrual disorders, heavy menstrual blood, dysmenorrhea, sexual discomfort and other symptoms. Severe pelvic inflammatory disease may cause fever, low fever, or palpable lumps and other symptoms.

Pelvic effusion can be divided into physiological and pathological. A small amount of physiological pelvic effusion proves that the fallopian tubes are unobstructed and generally does not require treatment. However, most of the clinical cases are pathological pelvic effusions, which are inflammatory exudates in the pelvis. They can occur after inflammation of the endometrium. They are slightly viscous fluids that exude from the swollen cells of the endometrial tissue and are gradually formed by the surrounding tissues to form cystic masses. The cystic mass will slowly grow larger and the difficulty of treatment will increase. If pelvic effusion is not properly treated, its harmfulness is relatively large and it can easily lead to pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, etc., leading to infertility.
