What is pelvic effusion?
Pelvic effusion refers to the accumulation of a certain amount of fluid in the pelvic cavity, which can be caused by bilateral ovarian cysts, fallopian tube effusion, urinary tract infection, vaginal discharge, pelvic tumors or other diseases. Pelvic effusion can seriously affect women\’s reproductive health and therefore requires attention.
Symptom 1: Back pain and lower abdominal pain
One of the most common symptoms of pelvic effusion is lower abdominal pain, which may progress to lower back pain. Patients may experience sudden or gradual pain, along with discomfort and pressure, especially during menstruation or during sexual intercourse. In some cases, pelvic fluid accumulation can cause lumbar musculoskeletal symptoms.
Symptom 2: Abnormal menstruation and painful sex
Pelvic fluid can also affect the appearance of menstruation. Patients may find that menstrual bleeding becomes heavier, the cycles are shorter or longer, and symptoms are more severe. Additionally, exposure of pelvic fluid to the genital area can cause pain during intercourse, although this pain is not always present.
Symptom 3: Excretion problems
Because fluid presses against the bladder, and even the anus and rectum, pelvic fluid accumulation can lead to frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, or urinary incontinence. It may be accompanied by defecation problems, prone to constipation, and aggravate the symptoms of abdominal pain.
Symptom 4: Other symptoms
In addition to the above, pelvic fluid accumulation may cause other physical symptoms such as shortness of breath, a feeling of swelling, or indigestion. Those who have the above symptoms need to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
Summary
Pelvic effusion is a common disease. Patients may suffer from back pain and lower abdominal pain, abnormal menstruation, painful sexual intercourse, excretion problems, shortness of breath, swelling and other symptoms. If you suffer from pelvic effusion, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. At the same time, women should pay attention to pelvic health, take protective measures, and pay attention to hygiene to avoid pelvic infection leading to pelvic effusion.
