During the ultrasound, the doctor may detect free fluid in the pelvis. Finding watery formations in the small pelvis is not always considered the norm, so the doctor conducts an examination before prescribing treatment.
Free fluid in the pelvis can accumulate for various reasons.
What is considered normal? The presence of fluid in the retrouterine space after ovulation has taken place. The fact is that during ovulation, a rupture of the dominant follicle occurs, and the fluid released from it enters the abdominal cavity. After a while, the liquid should be absorbed.
What is not normal? The resulting free fluid in the pelvis with endometriosis. The fact is that endometrial cells can grow in any area of \u200b\u200bthe pelvis, and during menstruation, spotting appears in these areas. There may be fluid in pelvic inflammatory disease.
During ultrasound, fluid formation in the small pelvis can be detected with endometriosis formations (cysts), rupture of the ovary, salpingitis (with ruptures of the ovary or cyststhere is bleeding in the pelvis).
Another cause of fluid accumulation in the pelvis is ascites. Ascites is an accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. This disease is often the result of heart or kidney failure, peritonitis, malignant tumors, and liver disease.
Free fluid in the pelvis is one of the signs of an ectopic pregnancy. This fluid indicates a ruptured fallopian tube. In this case, blood will ooze from the burst pipe.
During ultrasound, congestion in the pelvis can be detected. This phenomenon may be a consequence of the adhesive process. Adhesions that form during various injuries, namely operations, abortions, as well as various inflammatory processes of the small pelvis, can impede the circulation of organs, thereby causing congestion.
One of the signs of congestion is pain during intercourse or after it - dyspareunia.
Stagnation of blood in the pelvis occurs due to impaired renal function, as well as in the presence of inflammatory processes.
Chronic inflammatory diseases, disturbances in the activity of the hormonal system and other unfavorable conditions can lead to the formation of nodes in the tissues of the uterus, which are called "uterine fibroids" in medicine. Often this disease is accompanied by congestion.
Signs of fibroids are: a feeling of cold in the lower abdomen, abundantbleeding, low hemoglobin levels. During menstruation, severe pain, copious discharge with clots and mucus, as well as an unpleasant odor are noted. In rare cases, urinary function may be affected.
Whatever of the above signs are found, do not panic. You should immediately contact a qualified doctor who will prescribe an examination in a timely manner.
After detecting pathologies, the doctor will prescribe a treatment that will increase the chance of a complete cure.
