What causes pathological pelvic effusion?

Pelvic effusion is divided into pathological and physiological. Physiological pelvic effusion is normal. If pathological pelvic effusion occurs, it should be treated well. There are many reasons for pathological pelvic effusion. The main reason is infection. For example, if there is a gynecological disease, it is easy to cause pelvic effusion. Pelvic inflammatory disease and gynecological surgery, etc., are all likely to induce this condition.

Medical-induced infection caused by improper disinfection during artificial abortion and induced labor can also cause pelvic effusion. If there are chronic infection lesions, it may be caused by inflammation of the gynecological system such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes in the pelvic cavity, causing pelvic effusion. It may also be caused by tuberculosis or tumors. In a few cases, it is caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer.

Pelvic effusion is rarely caused by tuberculosis. If tuberculosis is suspected, anti-tuberculosis treatment should be given. Pelvic effusion often occurs in lower parts of the pelvic cavity, such as the rectouterine pouch.

The medical history, symptoms and physical signs can be combined in detail to determine whether it is normal or abnormal effusion. If abnormal fluid accumulation is confirmed, abnormal pelvic effusion and pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis must be treated early, otherwise it will affect fertility. Draining the accumulated fluid is a means of Western medicine examination or symptomatic treatment and should not be done frequently. Because simply draining the accumulated fluid will not only fail to cure pelvic effusion, but will also increase the amount of fluid accumulated. Pelvic effusion caused by acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis is often accompanied by lower abdominal pain (bilateral or unilateral), lumbosacral pain, low back pain, distending pain in the lower abdomen, heaviness, low back pain, etc. The patient feels very uncomfortable and should receive active treatment immediately until the effusion is absorbed and dissipated.
