How to care for patients with uterine effusion

Uterine effusion is a relatively serious gynecological disease. It is an inflammation of the female reproductive organs and surrounding tissues, which may lead to ectopic pregnancy and infertility. It is not enough to rely solely on treatment for uterine effusion. It is also possible to provide care for patients with uterine effusion. So, how should women with uterine effusion be cared for?

(1) Fever patients usually sweat a lot when the fever subsides. They should keep warm and dry. Change clothes when sweating and avoid using air conditioning or direct convection wind.

(2) Pay attention to the amount, quality, color and taste of leucorrhea. If the amount of leucorrhea is large, the color is yellow and thick, and it has a foul odor, it means that the condition is serious. If the leucorrhea changes from yellow to white (or light yellow), the amount decreases, and the taste becomes normal (slightly sour), it means that the condition has improved.

(3) Patients with acute or subacute uterine effusion should maintain smooth bowel movements and observe the characteristics of their stools. If pus is seen in the stool or there is a feeling of urgency and heaviness in the abdomen, they should go to the hospital immediately to prevent pelvic abscesses from rupturing the intestinal wall and causing acute peritonitis.

(4) Patients diagnosed with acute or subacute uterine effusion must follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with the treatment. Patients should rest in bed or take a semi-recumbent position to facilitate the localization of inflammation and the discharge of secretions. Patients with chronic uterine effusion should not overwork, but should combine work and rest and moderate sexual intercourse to avoid worsening symptoms.

(5) Some patients, who suffer from chronic uterine effusion, take antibiotics on their own when they feel a little uncomfortable. Long-term use may cause disturbance of vaginal flora, which may increase vaginal discharge and present as white dregs-like vaginal discharge. In this case, they should go to the hospital for treatment to rule out bacterial vaginitis.
