Patient's question:
Is pelvic effusion the accumulation of blood? How to eliminate it?Doctor's answer:
No, pelvic effusion is related to inflammation in the pelvic cavity. Pelvic effusion refers to the presence of inflammatory exudate in the pelvic cavity, which can occur after endometrial inflammation. It is a slightly viscous fluid that seeps out from swollen cells in the endometrial tissue and gradually forms a cystic mass as it is surrounded by surrounding tissues. If left untreated, it can gradually 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 the normal pelvic effusion in women due to physiological characteristics, pathological pelvic effusion is mostly caused by pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis.
