Pelvic effusion caused a mass on the left ovary

Pelvic effusion may lead to ovarian masses. You should seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and take targeted treatment. Common causes include infection, inflammation, tumors and other physiological factors. Treatment methods should be based on actual conditions, including drug therapy, surgical treatment or lifestyle adjustments.

1) Caused by infection or inflammation

Pelvic effusion is usually related to infection or inflammation of the female reproductive system, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, salpingitis, etc. Infection causes inflammatory exudate, and long-term effusion may stimulate the ovaries to form cysts or masses. Bacterial infection (such as chlamydia, gonococci) is a common root cause, and the cause must be determined through gynecological examination, ultrasound or laboratory testing. During treatment, you should follow the doctor's advice to use antibiotics, such as metronidazole, levofloxacin, etc., and use anti-inflammatory drugs to control symptoms.

2) Tumors

Ovarian masses are sometimes caused by tumors, which may be benign tumors such as ovarian cysts or malignant lesions. If accompanied by pelvic effusion, be alert to the possibility of cystadenoma or malignant cancer. Such cases usually require further imaging examinations (such as ultrasound, CT, etc.) and tumor marker tests (such as CA-125) to determine the nature. Treatment may include surgical resection, such as laparoscopic surgery or laparotomy, and combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy if necessary.

3) Caused by endocrine or physiological factors

Some ovarian masses are related to the menstrual cycle and physiological factors. Functional cysts (such as corpus luteum cysts) are more common in some women. This type of mass generally disappears on its own with hormone fluctuations, but the presence of effusion or mass may also aggravate discomfort symptoms such as pain and menstrual abnormalities. Treatment usually includes taking hormone drugs (such as progesterone) to regulate endocrine, and regular follow-up observation is recommended in some cases.

4) Other possible reasons

Abnormal fluid accumulation may also be caused by chronic trauma, bad living habits, and postoperative complications. These conditions may indirectly affect the health of the pelvis and ovaries, and auxiliary treatment is required through lifestyle adjustments. For example, attention should be paid to menstrual hygiene to avoid repeated infections, maintain a regular schedule, quit smoking and limit alcohol to reduce the risk of recurrence. At the same time, pay attention to diet, increase protein and vitamin intake (such as eating more milk, eggs, and fresh vegetables and fruits) to improve immunity.

If pelvic effusion occurs and accompanied by an ovarian mass, you need to see a doctor immediately to identify the cause. Standardized treatment is critical to protecting reproductive health and avoiding subsequent threats. Do not ignore symptoms or delay diagnosis and treatment. Active treatment combined with a healthy lifestyle can effectively improve treatment outcomes and prevent recurrence. It is recommended to have regular checkups, pay attention to the health of the uterine appendages and pelvic cavity, and ensure physical recovery.
