What is pelvic effusion? What causes pelvic effusion?

Pelvic effusion is one of the common gynecological symptoms, which can cause abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, infertility and other problems for women. So, what causes pelvic effusion? Where is the location of pelvic effusion? This is a question that many female friends are concerned about. Let's learn about the related issues of pelvic effusion.

Pelvic effusion refers to the inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity, which is generally divided into two categories: physiological and pathological. Physiological pelvic effusion often occurs after female ovulation or in early pregnancy, and most of them will disappear naturally. Pathological pelvic effusion is related to gynecological diseases, such as endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

In addition to physiological pelvic effusion, pathological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. The cause of pelvic inflammatory disease is closely related to women's bad living habits, such as having sex during menstruation or one month after childbirth, or taking a bath in a tub shortly after gynecological surgery. In addition, improper disinfection during artificial abortion and induced labor, and non-standard surgery are also one of the causes of pelvic effusion.

Location of pelvic fluid

Most pelvic effusions are located in the lower parts of the rectouterine pouch, etc. Most pelvic effusions are caused by inflammation, most commonly due to exudation from chronic pelvic inflammation. A small number of pelvic effusions are caused by ruptured ectopic pregnancy, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, and ovarian cancer. Pelvic effusions caused by pelvic inflammation are mostly accompanied by lower abdominal pain, which can spread to the lumbosacral region.

The exudate caused by pelvic inflammation cannot be absorbed by the body, so it will slowly accumulate in the body. A small number of pelvic effusions are caused by tuberculosis. If it is tuberculous pelvic effusion, anti-tuberculosis treatment is needed in time. When seeing a doctor, you should tell the doctor a detailed medical history. The doctor can determine whether the pelvic effusion is physiological or pathological based on symptoms and signs.
