Is uterine hydrops serious?

Each of us hopes to have a healthy body. After all, the body is the capital of revolution. Many people know this, but everyone has different personalities and lifestyles, so no one pays special attention to their physical condition or personal hygiene. This has led to many urinary system diseases in men and women, which not only affects our own physical health, but also indirectly affects our next generation. We must pay attention to it. Some women sometimes experience lower abdominal pain. At this time, you should pay attention to whether there is uterine accumulation.

Uterine accumulation, also called hydrometra. The main symptoms of uterine effusion are:

1. Abdominal pain: Patients with uterine effusion often suffer from scars, adhesions, and pelvic congestion caused by chronic inflammation, which may cause lower abdominal pain (bilateral or unilateral), lower abdominal distension and pain, pain in the lumbosacral region, low back pain, and lower abdominal distension. These pains are often aggravated during fatigue, after intercourse, during bowel movements, and before and after menstruation, making patients feel very uncomfortable.

2. Infertility: Severe uterine effusion can also cause fallopian tube obstruction, leading to infertility. Clinical examination often finds that the uterus is retroverted, with limited movement or adhesions. Cord-like thickened fallopian tubes can be felt on one or both sides of the uterus, with mild tenderness.

3. Abnormal menstruation and leucorrhea: Due to pelvic congestion, patients with uterine effusion are prone to increased menstruation and leucorrhea. When ovarian function is damaged, symptoms of menstrual disorders may appear.

4. Systemic symptoms: Some patients with uterine effusion may have low fever, fatigue, lack of energy, general discomfort, insomnia, etc.

How to treat it? Uterine effusion is common in elderly postmenopausal women. It is the accumulation of fluid in the uterine cavity and can be detected through B-ultrasound. Patients with uterine effusion without other accompanying symptoms can be observed but not treated for the time being. Physiological uterine effusion often occurs after ovulation or in early pregnancy and can disappear naturally. If accompanied by symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, etc., treatment should be sought regardless of the amount of fluid accumulated in the uterine cavity. Treatment methods include diagnostic curettage and hysteroscopic surgery. Hysteroscopic examination and treatment are clinically recommended.
