How to take care of pelvic effusion after surgery

If medication or physical therapy is ineffective for severe pelvic effusion, then surgery may be necessary. Surgery is usually the last choice of treatment. So how should you take care of yourself after pelvic effusion surgery?

Pelvic effusion is the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity, which can occur pathologically after pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis or endometriosis. According to pathological factors, it can be divided into physiological pelvic effusion and pathological 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 for symptomatic treatment in time.

If pelvic effusion is not treated properly, it is very harmful and can easily lead to pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, and infertility. If you have lower abdominal pain, lumbar pain, increased leucorrhea, lower abdominal tenderness, cord-like thickening, etc. during gynecological examination, consider chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and active treatment is needed to prevent the inflammation from worsening and the amount of effusion from increasing.

The main points to note after female pelvic effusion surgery are as follows:

1. Protect the wound: Female friends should choose to take a shower after the operation, avoid infecting the wound, and try to keep the wound clean and dry.

2. Avoid strenuous work: Within one week after the operation, the patient must remember to rest well and do light activities as much as possible, but also avoid sitting for long periods of time; try to avoid doing heavy work.

3. Choose liquid food: Patients should mainly eat light food, and should choose liquid diet in small amounts, such as salt water, rice soup, noodle soup, etc. Try not to drink sugary drinks such as sweet milk and soy milk powder, which will cause abdominal distension.

4. Pay attention to personal hygiene: After pelvic effusion surgery, you should strengthen personal hygiene, change underwear and sanitary napkins frequently, avoid cold, and avoid excessive fatigue. Keep the perineum clean and dry, and wash the vulva with warm water every night.
