Can I get pregnant and have a baby if I have pelvic effusion?

Does pelvic effusion affect pregnancy? This is something that many women with pelvic effusion urgently want to know. Pelvic effusion is the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvis. It usually occurs after the endometrium becomes inflamed. It is a slightly viscous fluid that exudes from the swollen cells of the endometrial tissue and is gradually formed into a cystic mass when it is wrapped by the surrounding tissue.

Generally speaking, pelvic effusion is divided into physiological and pathological. Physiological pelvic effusion often occurs after women ovulate or in early pregnancy, and can disappear naturally without treatment, and has no effect on pregnancy. Pathological gynecological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis or endometriosis. If it is not treated, the effusion will gradually increase and lead to female infertility. So why does pathological pelvic effusion affect fertility?

1. Pelvic effusion in women may be caused by chronic infection lesions, such as inflammation of the gynecological system, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. It may also be caused by tuberculosis or tumors. These diseases will affect fertility if left untreated for a long time.

2. Pelvic effusion can easily lead to pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube obstruction, etc., which can cause infertility. If you usually have lower abdominal pain, lumbar pain, increased leucorrhea, lower abdominal tenderness, cord-like thickening and other symptoms during gynecological examination, it is considered to be chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which requires active treatment to prevent worsening inflammation and increased fluid accumulation.

3. Most pelvic effusions are caused by inflammation, that is, by exudation from chronic pelvic inflammation. A few are caused by ruptured ectopic pregnancy, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer. These inflammations can also affect the combination of sperm and egg and affect pregnancy.
