How much pelvic effusion is normal? What are the clinical symptoms?

How much pelvic fluid is normal?

There is pelvic effusion. Generally, the effusion does not exceed 10mm, which is normal and does not require treatment. If the effusion exceeds 10mm, it is considered to be pathological pelvic effusion, which is mainly caused by the stimulation of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. It is recommended to identify the pathogenic bacteria and treat it specifically. The main clinical manifestations of pelvic inflammatory disease are increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal distension and pain, lumbar pain, irregular menstruation, and even infertility.

Symptoms of pelvic effusion:

1. Feeling of falling, pain in the lower abdomen and lumbar sacral region

The main symptoms are a feeling of heaviness, pain on one or both sides of the lower abdomen, scar adhesions caused by chronic inflammation, and pelvic congestion, which lead to heaviness and pain in the lower abdomen and soreness in the lumbar region. It is often more severe after fatigue, sex, and before and after menstruation.

2. Decreased immunity

The symptoms of pelvic effusion in women are often not very obvious. Sometimes there is a low fever. For patients who have been ill for a long time, there may also be symptoms of neurasthenia.

3. Menstrual disorders

Patients with concurrent pelvic congestion may have increased menstruation; when ovarian function is damaged, there may be menstrual disorders; when the fallopian tubes are blocked by adhesions, it may cause female infertility.

4. Infertility

Infertility is the most common symptom of pelvic effusion. If pelvic inflammatory disease causes blockage of the fallopian tubes, infertility will occur. Clinical examination will reveal that the patient's uterus is retroverted, uterine activity is restricted, or adhesions have occurred.
