Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year. Actually, it's usually okay, but I always get sick after each menstrual period. The specific symptoms are itching in the private area and lower abdominal pain. Please ask: How should pelvic effusion be treated better?Doctor's answer:
Pelvic fluid in gynecology is divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological pelvic fluid often occurs in women after menopause or in early pregnancy and usually disappears naturally, requiring no treatment. In clinical diagnosis, most women's pelvic fluid is caused by inflammation, resulting from inflammatory exudates in the pelvic area. If left untreated, it can gradually increase. When it becomes too large, medication becomes less effective, and surgical treatment is necessary. Pathological pelvic fluid is often caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexal inflammation, or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexal inflammation are often related to poor hygiene habits, such as sexual activity during menstruation or within two weeks postpartum, or bathing in a tub within two weeks after gynecological surgery. Additionally, pelvic fluid can be caused by iatrogenic infections resulting from unsafe artificial abortion or induced abortion procedures.
