Patient's question:
I had an abortion on August 14th. The ultrasound done on September 7th showed that my uterus was 4.94.63.8cm in size with clear margins and normal morphology. The muscle wall had uniform echoes, and there was a 1.40.8cm heterogeneous echo area in the uterine cavity with blurred boundaries. No obvious blood flow signals were detected by color Doppler. The endometrium was single-layered with a thickness of 0.4cm. There was a 1.6cm deep liquid dark area in the pelvis.Doctor, how is my uterus completely recovered? How should I treat the pelvic effusion?
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 can usually disappear naturally without the need for treatment. In clinical diagnosis, the majority of pelvic fluid in women is caused by inflammation, indicating the presence of inflammatory exudates in the pelvic area. If left untreated, it can gradually increase in size. When it becomes too large, medication may not be able to completely eliminate it, and surgical treatment may be required. Pathological pelvic fluid in gynecology is often caused by pelvic inflammation, adnexal inflammation, or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammation and adnexal inflammation are often related to poor hygiene habits in patients, such as sexual activity during menstruation or within two weeks postpartum, bathing in a tub within two weeks after gynecological surgery, or induced abortion.
