What does pelvic free fluid mean?

As we all know, the pelvic cavity is a part of the body, mainly located in the waist. It is well known that the female pelvic cavity is obviously larger than that of the male because of the presence of the uterus. Therefore, whether you are a man or a woman, you should pay more attention to your pelvic cavity in your life so that you can solve problems quickly when they arise. So the question is, do you know what pelvic free fluid is?

Pelvic free fluid and pelvic effusion refer to the presence of inflammatory exudates in the pelvis, which may occur after 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. If left untreated, it will slowly grow.

In addition to normal pelvic effusion in women due to their physiological characteristics, pathological pelvic effusion is mostly due to pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are often related to the patient's bad hygiene habits, such as having sexual intercourse during menstruation, within one month after childbirth, 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.

It is best to perform a posterior fornix puncture examination to identify the nature of the fluid caused by pelvic inflammation. If there are chronic infection lesions, it may be an inflammation of the gynecological system such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes, or it may be caused by tuberculosis or tumors.

Note:

If there is pelvic free fluid, it generally indicates the presence of pelvic inflammatory disease, which may affect fertility if not treated promptly. Therefore, female friends should pay attention to this.
