What are the treatments for pelvic effusion?

Pelvic effusion can be divided into physiological pelvic effusion and pathological pelvic effusion. Physiological pelvic effusion generally does not require treatment. Pathological pelvic effusion can be caused by ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammation, corpus luteum rupture, etc. It can be treated with medication and surgery. The specific situations are as follows.

1. Ectopic pregnancy:

It often occurs in the fallopian tube area. When the embryo grows to a certain size, it will cause the fallopian tube to rupture. Blood may accumulate in the rectouterine pouch and even affect the abdominal cavity, causing pelvic effusion. It can be treated through laparoscopic surgery.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease:

It is mainly caused by infection factors. There may be a large amount of inflammatory exudate at the site of inflammation. You can use drugs such as cefoxitin sodium, cefotaxime sodium, metronidazole injection, etc. under the guidance of a doctor. If drug treatment is ineffective, laparoscopic surgery can also be used.

3. Corpus luteum rupture:

It may be due to the formation of corpus luteum cysts, abnormal coagulation function, external force, etc. It often occurs on one side of the ovary and can cause blood accumulation in the pelvic cavity. It can also be treated through laparoscopic surgery.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by pelvic/abdominal malignant tumors. After surgical treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy should also be used as adjuvant treatment. After treatment, regular checkups can be conducted according to the doctor's advice to understand the treatment effect in a timely manner.
