Patient's question:
Gender: FemaleAge: 25 years
How to treat mild cervical inflammation? How long does it take to recover, and how to know it has healed. What should be paid attention to in daily life?
Doctor's answer:
It can occur after inflammation of the endometrium, where slightly viscous fluid seeps from swollen cells of the endometrial tissue and is gradually encapsulated by surrounding tissues, forming a cystic mass. If left untreated, it can slowly grow larger. If it becomes too large, medication cannot eliminate it, and surgery is required to remove it. Pelvic effusion can be completely cured, but effective treatment must be based on identifying the causative pathogen. In addition to normal pelvic effusion in women due to physiological characteristics, pathological pelvic effusion is mostly related to pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. The causes of pelvic inflammatory disease are often related to poor hygiene habits, such as sexual activity during menstruation or within one month postpartum, or taking a bath in a after gynecological surgery within one month. Medical infections caused by unsterilized artificial abortion or induced abortion can also lead to pelvic effusion. For effusion caused by pelvic inflammation, posterior fornix aspiration should be performed to determine the nature of the fluid. If there are chronic infection foci, it may be inflammation of the gynecological system, such as the ovaries or fallopian tubes, or it could be caused by tuberculosis or tumors. Pelvic inflammatory disease should be treated early, as delaying treatment can affect fertility. To identify the causative pathogen of pelvic inflammatory disease, special laboratory tests should be conducted, followed by symptomatic medication. If tuberculosis is suspected, anti-tuberculosis treatment should be administered. Drawing out effusion is a means of examination or symptomatic treatment and should not be done frequently. Simply drawing out effusion not only does not cure pelvic effusion but may also increase it.
