Pelvic effusion is divided into physiological effusion and pathological effusion. There are many organs in the pelvic cavity, which cannot be in a dry state under normal circumstances, so some effusion is a normal phenomenon. If a woman is in the ovulation period or menstrual period, the effusion may be slightly more. Pathological pelvic effusion is usually accompanied by abdominal pain and is commonly seen in pelvic inflammation, ectopic pregnancy, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic tuberculosis, and ovarian malignant tumors. If it is caused by pelvic inflammation, Huahong tablets can be taken for treatment. If there is excessive leukorrhea accompanied by vulvar itching, topical medications can be chosen, such as JinSong anti-itch wash, which is made from pure traditional Chinese medicines including Qianliuguang, Baixiansi, Dàyè'ānyè, Jinyinhuā, Huangqin, Tufengliu, Shéchángzi, Sōngyè, and Gancao. It has the functions of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-itching.
