Are pelvic effusion and uterine effusion the same thing? What are the preventive measures?

Pelvic effusion will gradually form a cystic mass. If pelvic effusion occurs during pregnancy, it may affect the development of the fetus. So, are pelvic effusion and uterine effusion the same thing?

Intrauterine effusion and pelvic effusion are actually two different concepts. First of all, the two are in different locations. Intrauterine effusion is formed when endometritis is accompanied by cervical canal obstruction, so that the inflammatory secretions in the uterine cavity cannot flow out or the drainage is not smooth. Pelvic effusion is the fluid that accumulates in the rectouterine pit at the lowest point of the abdominal cavity. It can be divided into physiological and pathological. Physiological ones generally require treatment, while pathological ones are generally caused by pelvic inflammation.

From the above content, we know that pelvic effusion and uterine effusion are not the same thing. Next, we will introduce the prevention measures of pelvic effusion. I hope everyone can actively prevent pelvic effusion:

1. Make good preparations for gynecological surgery, pay attention to keeping the vulva clean, avoid sexual intercourse three days before the operation, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and vagina after the operation, wash the vulva with warm water, replace the perineal pad and underwear in time, and prohibit sexual intercourse within 2 to 3 weeks after the operation.

2. Prevent the abuse of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Antibiotics, whether taken orally or injected, will inhibit lactobacilli in the vagina, disrupt the natural ecological balance of the vagina, and change the vaginal microenvironment. Pathogenic bacteria and pathogens may multiply, eventually leading to local candidal vaginitis, which in turn secretes inflammatory fluid and causes pelvic effusion.
