What should I do if I have severe pelvic effusion during pregnancy?

Severe pelvic effusion during pregnancy may be a normal phenomenon, or it may be related to factors such as pelvic inflammation and ectopic pregnancy. General treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment can be given. The details of the disease and the treatment methods are as follows:

1. Normal phenomenon

Under normal circumstances, there will be a certain amount of pelvic fluid, which can reduce the friction between the pelvic organs and play a lubricating role. After pregnancy, due to changes in hormone levels in the body, it can promote the increase of pelvic tissue secretion, which in turn leads to severe pelvic fluid accumulation.

This situation usually does not require special treatment. Since the hormone levels in the body are stable, the body will absorb some of the accumulated fluid, so there is no need to worry too much.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease

If you already have pelvic inflammation, the enlarged uterus after pregnancy can compress the pelvic organs, causing congestion and edema of the pelvic tissues. In this case, the pelvic inflammation can be aggravated, and with the exudation of a large amount of inflammatory secretions, it can lead to severe pelvic fluid accumulation.

If there are no obvious symptoms, temporary observation and regular follow-up examinations are recommended. If there are obvious abdominal pain, increased secretions, etc., antibiotics with less side effects on the fetus, such as penicillin, amoxicillin or cefuroxime, can be selected under the guidance of a doctor to reduce the inflammatory response and promote the disappearance of effusion.

3. Ectopic pregnancy

When an ectopic pregnancy occurs, such as a tubal pregnancy, as the embryo grows, it can cause the fallopian tube to rupture and bleed, and blood can accumulate in the rectouterine pouch, leading to more severe pelvic effusion.

Most of them need surgical treatment, such as salpingectomy, conservative surgery, etc., to reduce bleeding and avoid hemorrhagic shock. After surgery, patients should also pay attention to rest, reduce activities, suspend sexual life, and avoid secondary infection.

In addition to the above factors, if you suffer from endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and other diseases, pelvic fluid accumulation during pregnancy will also become serious. Since the factors are unknown, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time during pregnancy to clarify the cause.
