Is 20mm of pelvic effusion serious?

Is 20mm of pelvic fluid serious?

1. This is a question that many female friends ask their doctors when they are told by the doctor that they have pelvic effusion and the diameter is 20mm. In response to this question from female friends, gynecologists say that the normal value of pelvic effusion is below 10mm, so pelvic effusion of 20mm is quite serious and needs to be identified as soon as possible and then treated symptomatically.

2. Gynecologists say that pelvic effusion is the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity, which can occur after the inflammation of the endometrium. The slightly viscous fluid exudates from the swollen cells of the endometrial tissue and is gradually wrapped by the surrounding tissue to form a cystic mass. Generally speaking, if the pelvic effusion is less than 10mm, it is normal, and such pelvic effusion is sometimes a good thing, which proves that the woman's fallopian tubes are unobstructed. If the fallopian tubes have exudate, if the umbrella end is unobstructed, a small amount of exudate will flow into the pelvic cavity, thus forming a pelvic effusion.

3. If the pelvic effusion exceeds 10mm, or even reaches 20mm, it is pathological pelvic effusion, which is abnormal and needs active treatment. If it is not treated actively, it is easy to cause pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, etc., leading to infertility. Therefore, if female friends have symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, lumbar pain, and increased leucorrhea, they must go to the hospital for examination.

1. Physical therapy

The benign stimulation of warmth can promote local blood circulation in the pelvic cavity, improve the nutritional status of tissues, and increase metabolism, so as to facilitate the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. Commonly used methods include short wave, ultrashort wave, ion penetration, wax therapy, etc.

2. Surgical treatment

Surgery is recommended for lumps such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts. Surgery is also recommended for small infection foci that cause repeated inflammation. The principle of surgery is to completely cure the disease and avoid the chance of recurrence of residual lesions. Unilateral oophorectomy or total hysterectomy plus bilateral oophorectomy is performed. Ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible for young women.
