How to self-diagnose pelvic effusion

Many friends who work have little time to pay attention to women's health. Pelvic effusion is the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity, which can occur after pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis or endometriosis (pathological). According to pathological factors, it can be divided into physiological pelvic effusion and pathological pelvic effusion. Let's take a look at how to self-diagnose pelvic effusion.

Physiological pelvic effusion is not a bad thing for women, but pathological pelvic effusion is more harmful. Once a woman suffers from this type of effusion, she should go to the hospital in time for symptomatic treatment.

Pelvic effusion often occurs in lower parts of the pelvis, such as the rectouterine pouch. B-ultrasound is a commonly used and effective examination method in gynecology, which can accurately determine the amount of effusion.

It is possible to determine whether it is normal or abnormal effusion by combining medical history, symptoms, and physical signs in detail. If abnormal effusion is confirmed, the cause of the effusion must be determined, and eliminating the cause is the key.

Extraction of effusion is a Western medical examination or symptomatic treatment method and should not be performed frequently, because simply extracting effusion will not only fail to cure pelvic effusion, but will also increase the amount of effusion.

Differential diagnosis of pelvic effusion

Pelvic effusion should be differentiated from the following diseases:

1. Feeling of heaviness in the pelvis.

The main symptom of pelvic heaviness is increased vaginal discharge. Due to different pathogens, the color and amount of vaginal discharge are also different. The vaginal discharge may be viscous or ammonia-like, sometimes with blood streaks or a small amount of blood, or contact bleeding. It may also manifest as sudden onset of severe pelvic pain, and a pelvic mass indicates a serious, potential lesion. An incarcerated uterus can cause acute pelvic pain in early pregnancy, often accompanied by a retroverted uterus and pelvic adhesions. Acute growth or degeneration of uterine fibroids can also cause acute pain.

2. Pelvic abscess.

Pelvic abscess is mostly caused by acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation that is not treated in time, which causes suppuration and forms pelvic abscess. This abscess can be limited to one or both sides of the uterus, and the pus flows into the deep pelvic cavity.

3. Pelvic congestion.

Pelvic congestion syndrome (also known as pelvic congestion syndrome) is a special disease caused by chronic pelvic venous congestion. It is also one of the main causes of chronic pelvic pain in gynecology, and is more common in women aged 30-50 years. There is no such name in traditional Chinese medicine. According to its clinical manifestations and signs, it can be classified into the categories of abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, leucorrhea, etc. The pathogenesis is mainly blood stasis and obstruction of blood vessels.
