What causes pelvic effusion and what medicine can cure it?

Pelvic effusion is a symptom of a common gynecological disease. It is not a single disease. There are many causes of pelvic effusion. The most common one is pelvic inflammatory disease or inflammation of adjacent tissues, which leads to effusion. In addition, women may also be infected after childbirth or miscarriage, which is particularly harmful to women's health and must be treated in time.

What are the causes of pelvic effusion?

First of all, women do not pay attention to cleanliness during menstruation, because the endometrium of women falls off during menstruation, which is more conducive to the growth and nourishment of bacteria. If women do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, use some unhygienic sanitary napkins or some paper products, especially some women have sex during menstruation, it is more likely to cause infection, affect the health of the pelvis, and cause pelvic effusion.

Secondly, the inflammation of adjacent organs spreads. Some women with gynecological diseases do not receive timely treatment, which may affect the adjacent organs over time. Generally, women with appendicitis and peritonitis may affect their internal reproductive organs, which will affect the health of the pelvis and cause pelvic effusion, which will have a great impact on women's lives.

Finally, women may become infected after childbirth or after a miscarriage. Generally, women’s cervix is ​​not well closed after childbirth or miscarriage, and their body resistance is relatively poor at this time. This can cause bacteria in the vagina and cervix to ascend and infect the pelvic cavity, and may even cause other diseases. Therefore, women should pay attention to personal hygiene after childbirth or miscarriage.
