Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, female. Due to lower back pain and a heavy feeling in the lower abdomen, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have fluid accumulation in my pelvis. Please ask why there is fluid accumulation in the pelvis.Doctor's answer:
Pelvic effusion is divided into two types: physiological and pathological. Physiological effusion occurs after ovulation or during pregnancy. Pathological effusion has multiple causes, such as poor hygiene during menstruation: When menstruation occurs, the endometrium of a woman's uterus sheds, causing blood sinuses in the uterine cavity to open and form clots. This creates a favorable environment for bacterial growth. If personal hygiene is not maintained during menstruation, or if unsuitable sanitary pads, toilet paper, etc., are used, or if sexual activity occurs during menstruation, it can lead to pelvic inflammation in women.
