What causes pelvic effusion?

Pelvic effusion refers to the accumulation of excessive fluid in the pelvic cavity. There are many reasons for pelvic effusion, which may be caused by infection, stones or foreign bodies, liver disease, adenocarcinoma metastasis and other factors. You need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

1. Infection: Pelvic infection is one of the common causes of pelvic effusion, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, etc. These infections may be caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi.

2. Stones or foreign bodies: When there are stones or foreign bodies in the pelvic cavity, pelvic effusion may occur, for example, ureteral stones or displacement of intrauterine contraceptive devices.

3. Liver disease: Liver diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer may cause pelvic effusion. This is because liver disease causes liver damage, causing ascites, which then accumulates in the pelvic cavity.

4. Breast cancer metastasis: Breast cancer metastasis may also lead to pelvic effusion. When breast cancer spreads to the pelvic area, it may cause the formation of pelvic effusion.

5. Tumors: Tumors in the pelvic cavity, including ovarian, uterine, cervical, etc., may cause pelvic effusion.

If you suspect you have pelvic effusion, it is recommended that you seek medical attention for further examination and diagnosis. During treatment, you need to strengthen nursing measures, pay attention to personal hygiene, change and wash underwear frequently, and avoid other adverse reactions.
