Is uterine effusion a disease?

Uterine effusion may be physiological or pathological. Physiological effusion often occurs before and after ovulation and in early pregnancy. It will disappear on its own without treatment. Pathological effusion is caused by inflammation and needs timely treatment, otherwise it may lead to irregular menstruation, sexual dysfunction or infertility.

In fact, uterine effusion does not necessarily mean gynecological disease. Uterine effusion is also called intrauterine effusion, which can be divided into physiological and pathological. It is normal for women to find a small amount of effusion before and after ovulation. Uterine effusion can also occur during early pregnancy. In this case, no treatment is required and it will disappear on its own. In addition to this, uterine effusion is pathological and needs to be treated in time.

Most pathological uterine effusions are caused by inflammation, such as uterine inflammation (including inflammation of the uterine organs such as endometritis, salpingitis, and ovarian cysts). The occurrence of uterine effusions is closely related to hygiene habits. It may be caused by having sex during menstruation, within one month after childbirth, taking a bath after gynecological surgery, etc., and the serous exudate caused by inflammation cannot be absorbed by the body and slowly accumulates in the body, thus forming uterine effusions.

The consequences of uterine effusion can be serious or minor. In mild cases, it can cause irregular menstruation and sexual dysfunction in women, and in severe cases, it can cause infertility. The key to treating uterine effusion is to treat metritis. First, the pathogenic bacteria of metritis must be identified, special laboratory tests must be performed, and then symptomatic medication must be used. If tuberculosis is suspected, anti-tuberculosis treatment should be given.
