What are the symptoms of pelvic effusion?

Pelvic effusion refers to the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pelvic cavity, which is mainly manifested by lower abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, abnormal leucorrhea, frequent urination, urgency, fever and chills, etc. If the symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take targeted treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Lower abdominal pain: Pelvic effusion can cause dull pain or a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. This pain may be continuous or intermittent, and is usually aggravated after activity or sexual intercourse. Patients should seek medical attention promptly, undergo B-ultrasound examinations to determine the cause of the effusion, and follow the doctor's advice to use anti-inflammatory drugs or undergo physical therapy, such as hot compresses and physical therapy, to relieve pain.

2. Menstrual disorders: Pelvic effusion may lead to menstrual cycle disorders, increased or decreased menstrual flow, and even irregular menstruation. This may be because the effusion affects the normal function of the ovaries and uterus. Patients should adjust their daily routines, maintain a good mental state, and use Chinese medicine such as Angelica and Motherwort Paste under the guidance of a doctor when necessary to help restore normal menstrual cycles.

3. Abnormal vaginal discharge: Patients with pelvic effusion often have increased vaginal discharge with abnormal color and odor. The vaginal discharge may be yellow or green and accompanied by a strange smell, which usually indicates infection. Patients should keep the vulva clean, avoid unclean sexual life, use antibacterial drugs such as metronidazole tablets as prescribed by the doctor, and have regular checkups to ensure that the infection is under control.

4. Frequent and urgent urination: As the effusion compresses the bladder, the patient may experience symptoms of frequent and urgent urination. This symptom is particularly obvious at night, affecting the patient's sleep quality. The patient should reduce the intake of irritating drinks, urinate in time, avoid holding urine, and use anti-inflammatory drugs such as levofloxacin tablets when necessary, and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

5. Fever and chills: If pelvic effusion is accompanied by infection, it will cause systemic symptoms such as fever and chills. In this case, the patient should seek medical attention immediately, follow the doctor's advice to use antibiotics such as ceftriaxone sodium injection, and pay attention to rest and keep warm to avoid worsening of the condition.

In order to prevent the occurrence of pelvic effusion, women should maintain good living habits, pay attention to menstrual hygiene, avoid unclean sexual life, and have regular gynecological examinations. For those who have related symptoms, they should seek medical treatment in time and tell the doctor the detailed symptoms so that they can get timely treatment and intervention.
