What are the classifications of pelvic effusion?

1. Physiological pelvic effusion: Because the pelvic cavity is the lower 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.

It proves that the woman's fallopian tube is unobstructed. If the fallopian tube is unobstructed, a small amount of exudate will flow into the pelvic cavity, thus forming pelvic effusion. If the fallopian tube is not unobstructed, it will cause fallopian tube effusion and fallopian tube thickening. The liquid of such 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 it is not treated, it can grow slowly. If it is too large, it is not easy to eliminate it with medicine, and surgical treatment is required.

Pathological gynecological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory adnexitis or endometriosis. The cause of pelvic inflammatory adnexitis is often related to the patient's bad hygiene habits, such as having sex during menstruation or within one month after delivery, 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.
