Can I have a baby if I am pregnant with pelvic effusion

Pelvic effusion is not a single disease. It is a symptom caused by pelvic inflammatory disease or gynecological diseases. The occurrence of pelvic effusion indicates that the disease is relatively serious and is particularly harmful to women's health. If you do not pay attention to timely treatment, it may even cause greater harm. Therefore, if pelvic effusion occurs, you should treat it in time. If you find that you are pregnant, you need to recuperate in time and follow the doctor's advice.

What to do if you have pelvic fluid accumulation in early pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, some pregnant women discover through B-ultrasound that they have pelvic effusion. Pelvic effusion in the early stages of pregnancy will naturally cause panic in pregnant women. They are mainly worried about whether the pelvic effusion will affect the fetus. In fact, if it is physiological pelvic effusion, it will not affect the fetus. The fluid in such pelvic effusion is generally less and will be gradually absorbed and mostly disappear naturally.

However, if it is pathological pelvic effusion, it will affect the fetus. Once the pregnant mother is diagnosed with pathological pelvic effusion, she must not take medicine on her own, but go to a regular hospital for treatment according to the doctor's instructions.

Does pelvic effusion affect pregnancy?

1. Women with pelvic effusion may be caused by chronic infection lesions, such as inflammation of the gynecological system, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. It may also be caused by tuberculosis or tumors. These diseases will affect fertility if left untreated for a long time.

2. Pelvic effusion can easily lead to pelvic adhesions, fallopian tube obstruction, etc., which can cause infertility. If you usually have lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral pain, increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal tenderness, cord-like thickening during gynecological examination, etc., you may be suffering from chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which requires active treatment to prevent worsening inflammation and increased fluid accumulation.

3. Most pelvic effusions are caused by inflammation, that is, exudation from chronic pelvic inflammation. A few are caused by ruptured ectopic pregnancy, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cyst, and ovarian cancer. These inflammations can also affect the combination of sperm and egg and affect pregnancy.

What causes pelvic effusion?

1. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation

During a woman's menstrual period, the shedding of the endometrium causes the blood sinuses to expand, creating a good environment for the growth of bacteria. If you do not pay attention to personal vaginal hygiene at this time, use unclean sanitary napkins, have sexual intercourse during menstruation, etc., it is easy for pathogens to invade the reproductive tract and spread upward, causing pelvic inflammatory disease. You should also keep your vagina clean and hygienic at ordinary times, change your underwear frequently, and keep your private parts clean and dry.

2. Excessive sex life and lack of attention to cleanliness

Improper sexual intercourse is also an important cause of pelvic inflammatory disease. If you have sex too frequently, ignore local cleaning before sex, fail to urinate or clean in time after repeated sex, or even have sex during menstruation, these bad habits will cause bacteria brought into the vagina from the outside to destroy the balance of normal flora in the vagina, causing the bacteria to grow and multiply rapidly, leading to the bacteria ascending to the pelvic cavity and causing pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Low immunity

There are pathogenic bacteria in the female vagina. When a woman is physically strong, these bacteria will not come out to cause trouble. Once her resistance is reduced, the pathogenic bacteria will take the opportunity to enter and cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Therefore, women should pay attention to strengthening their physical fitness and improving their own resistance. The most important things to improve your physical fitness are a regular lifestyle, diet, proper exercise, and maintaining a good attitude.

4. Recurrent miscarriage

Repeated abortions are also the cause of pelvic inflammatory disease in many young women. Nowadays, most abortions are painless, which reduces the pain of abortion. However, this causes some women to mistakenly believe that abortion is no big deal. If they do not take good contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse, they can easily get pregnant. Many women think that regular hospitals have too many people and that examinations are troublesome, so they choose to go to some informal clinics for irregular, unhygienic and unsafe abortion operations, which leads to adverse consequences such as genital inflammation.
