Is pelvic effusion normal?

Whether pelvic effusion and bleeding is normal depends on the amount of effusion and the duration of vaginal bleeding. If the amount of pelvic effusion is not much and vaginal bleeding happens to occur during the menstrual period, it may be normal. Otherwise, it may be abnormal.

Pelvic effusion can be divided into physiological and pathological. Physiological pelvic effusion often occurs after ovulation and is caused by the discharge of follicular fluid in the pelvic cavity. B-ultrasound examination generally shows less than 20 mm. After menstruation, pelvic effusion disappears, which is a normal phenomenon. If there is a small amount of bleeding at this time, it may be caused by ovulation. The amount is not much and it will clear up in two or three days. Generally, no special treatment is required.

The amount of pathological pelvic effusion is relatively large, generally reaching more than 20 mm, and the patient will have lower abdominal pain and back pain. If accompanied by vaginal bleeding at this time, and not during the female's menstrual period, it may be a manifestation of pelvic inflammatory disease, which is an abnormal phenomenon and requires antibiotic treatment under the guidance of a doctor, such as cefixime capsules, metronidazole tablets, ornidazole tablets, etc.
