Does chronic pelvic inflammatory disease cause effusion?

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease refers to chronic inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs and the surrounding connective tissues and pelvic peritoneum. Acute pelvic inflammatory disease is usually not treated thoroughly. In the case of poor physical condition, the course of acute pelvic inflammatory disease can be prolonged to repeated attacks, causing chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. However, there may be no history of acute pelvic inflammatory disease, such as salpingitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is stubborn and can lead to menstrual disorders, increased leucorrhea, low back pain and infertility.

The typical ultrasound manifestation of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is pelvic effusion. Physiological pelvic effusion usually does not exceed 10 mm and can usually be absorbed by itself without special treatment. Pelvic effusion caused by chronic inflammation or pelvic effusion caused by malignant tumors is generally more than 100 ml, and ultrasound diagnosis is not very difficult. Whether chronic pelvic inflammatory disease with pelvic effusion is serious is related to the amount of effusion.

If the fluid accumulation is small, it may be physiological pelvic effusion, such as a small amount of fluid accumulation caused by menstruation or ovulation, which does not require treatment and has no serious consequences.

If the amount of pelvic effusion is greater than 100ml, you need to choose a professional and regular hospital for treatment, and you can use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Pelvic effusion is not a disease, but just a symptom of imaging. Generally, a small amount of effusion has no symptoms, and only a small amount will cause swelling of the lower abdomen and anus. If not treated in time, it will cause abdominal pain, bloating, fever or general discomfort, as well as abnormal blood routine.
