What is pelvic effusion and how to treat it

Pelvic effusion usually occurs when women suffer from diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis or endometriosis. It is divided into physiological pelvic effusion and pathological pelvic effusion. Physiological pelvic effusion is a female physiological phenomenon, while pathological pelvic effusion can cause serious harm to women. So, what is pelvic effusion and how to treat it?

Causes

1. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation

When menstruation comes, the endometrium will fall off, the blood sinuses inside the uterine cavity will be open, and small blood clots will be present, which is very suitable for the growth of bacteria. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene during menstruation, use unclean sanitary napkins, toilet paper, etc., or have sexual intercourse during menstruation, it provides a good opportunity for bacteria to grow and infect, causing pelvic inflammatory disease in women.

2. Spread of inflammation to adjacent organs

Women are more likely to develop pelvic inflammatory disease when they suffer from appendicitis or peritoneal inflammation. When suffering from vaginitis and cervicitis, the inflammation will spread upward and eventually lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Postpartum and post-abortion infection

After childbirth and artificial abortion, the body is weak and the immune system is low. The cervix is ​​in a dilated state. If personal hygiene is not paid attention to, the bacteria in the vagina and cervix may ascend and cause female pelvic infection.

4. Infection after gynecological surgery

Artificial abortion surgery, IUD insertion (removal) surgery, salpingography (hydration), etc., if the disinfection is not strict during the operation, it is easy to get infection after the operation. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery, do not follow the doctor's instructions for recovery treatment, or have sexual intercourse too early after treatment, it will cause bacteria to grow and lead to pelvic infection in women.

treat

1. General treatment

Relieve patients' mental concerns, enhance their confidence in treatment, increase nutrition, exercise, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and improve the body's resistance.

2. Physical therapy

The benign stimulation of warmth can promote local blood circulation in the pelvic cavity. Improve the nutritional status of tissues and enhance metabolism to facilitate the absorption and disappearance of inflammation.

3. Medication

Symptomatic treatment is provided by anti-inflammatory drugs or hormone drugs.

4. Surgery

Patients with lumps such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts can undergo surgical treatment; patients with small foci of infection and repeated inflammation should also undergo laparoscopic exploration. The principle of surgery is to completely cure the disease and avoid leaving any residual lesions. For young women, ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible. The effect of single therapy for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is poor, and comprehensive treatment is appropriate.
