Pathological pelvic effusion

What is pathological pelvic effusion?

Pathological gynecological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory adnexitis or endometriosis. The cause of pelvic inflammatory adnexitis is often related to the patient's bad hygiene habits, such as having sex during menstruation or within one month after delivery, taking a bath within one month after gynecological surgery, etc. Medical-induced infection caused by improper disinfection during artificial abortion and induced labor can also cause pelvic effusion.

To prevent pathological pelvic effusion, the following points should be noted:

1. If there is vaginal bleeding during menstruation, after abortion, and after gynecological surgery such as insertion or removal of an IUD, you must refrain from sexual intercourse, swimming, taking a bath, or taking a sauna. You must change sanitary napkins frequently to prevent pathogens from entering the body and causing infection.

2. Eliminate all routes of infection, keep the perineum clean and dry, wash the vulva with clean water every night, and use a dedicated basin for each person. Do not use your hands to wash the vagina, and do not use hot water or soap to wash the vulva. During pelvic inflammatory disease, the amount of leucorrhea is large and sticky, so change underwear frequently and do not wear tight or synthetic underwear.

3. Pay attention to the amount, quality, color and taste of leucorrhea. If the amount of leucorrhea is large, the color is yellow and thick, and it has a foul smell, it means that the condition is more serious. If the leucorrhea changes from yellow to white or light yellow, the amount changes from large to small, and the taste tends to be normal and slightly sour, it means that the condition has improved.

4. Patients diagnosed with acute or subacute pelvic effusion must follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with the treatment. Patients must rest in bed or take a semi-recumbent position to facilitate the localization of inflammation and the discharge of secretions.

5. Do a good job in contraception and try to minimize the trauma of artificial abortion.

6. Patients with pelvic effusion should pay attention to diet and nutrition. During the fever period, they should eat light and easily digestible food. Patients with high fever and body fluid damage can be given pear juice, apple juice, watermelon juice, etc., but they should not drink it after icing.
