Pelvic fluid accumulation is a familiar condition that poses serious harm to female friends and affects fertility. It is also common for us to seek immediate and reasonable treatment to prevent the harm from worsening.
Does pelvic fluid accumulation affect pregnancy
What is the cause of pelvic fluid accumulation? Physiological pelvic fluid accumulation often occurs in women after ovulation or early childbirth, and often disappears naturally. This small amount of pelvic fluid accumulation does not affect pregnancy or the fetus. Pathological pelvic fluid accumulation in gynecology is often caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, or endometriosis. In clinical practice, most women's pelvic fluid accumulation is caused by inflammation, which is the presence of inflammatory exudates in the pelvic cavity. If left untreated, it can gradually grow. If it is too large, medication is not easy to eliminate it. If targeted treatment is actively carried out, pelvic fluid accumulation will quickly disappear. The disappearance of pelvic fluid does not affect pregnancy.
In addition to normal pelvic fluid accumulation due to physiological characteristics in women, pathological pelvic fluid accumulation is often pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are often related to the patient's poor hygiene habits, such as physiological days, sexual activity within one month after childbirth, and bathing within one month after surgery. Iatrogenic infections caused by artificial abortion and lax disinfection during production can also cause pelvic fluid accumulation. It is best to perform posterior fornix puncture examination for fluid accumulation caused by pelvic inflammation to determine the nature of the fluid. If there is a chronic infection furnace, it may be inflammation of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other systems, as well as tuberculosis and tumors. Pelvic inflammatory disease should be treated early as it can affect fertility in the long term.
