    Uterine effusion may be caused by endometriosis, endometritis, fallopian tube obstruction, pelvic inflammatory disease, hormone level disorders, etc., and can be intervened through drug treatment, surgical treatment, etc.

    1. Endometriosis

    Endometriosis may cause menstrual blood to flow backward into the uterine cavity, causing fluid accumulation. Patients often suffer from symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and painful sexual intercourse. Treatment requires the use of dienogest tablets, gestrinone capsules and other drugs as directed by the doctor to inhibit intimal growth, or laparoscopic surgery to remove ectopic lesions. Daily strenuous exercise should be avoided as it may aggravate pelvic congestion.

    2. Endometritis

    Endometritis caused by bacterial infection causes inflammatory fluid to leak from the uterine cavity, often accompanied by lower abdominal pain and abnormal vaginal discharge. You can use cefixime dispersible tablets, metronidazole vaginal gel and other antibiotics as directed by your doctor, along with hot compresses to relieve pain. During treatment, sexual intercourse should be prohibited and the perineum should be kept clean.

    3. Fallopian tube obstruction

    Backflow of hydrosalpinx into the uterine cavity is a common cause, mostly related to previous pelvic surgery or infection. Patients may experience infertility and menstrual disorders. The diagnosis needs to be confirmed by fallopian tube angiography. In mild cases, fallopian tube drainage can be tried, while in severe cases, laparoscopic adhesiolysis is required. It is recommended to supplement vitamin E after surgery to improve reproductive function.

    4. Pelvic inflammatory disease

    When pelvic inflammatory disease is not controlled in time, inflammatory exudates can accumulate in the uterine cavity. Typical symptoms are fever and lumbosacral pain. Treatment requires a full course of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules and azithromycin granules. In the acute stage, bed rest is required to avoid spicy food that stimulates inflammation.

    5. Hormone level disorders

    Endocrine problems such as luteal insufficiency can lead to uterine fluid absorption impairment, which is common in perimenopausal women. The symptoms include endless menstruation and B-ultrasound showing effusion. You can use progesterone soft capsules to regulate the cycle as directed by your doctor, and use it with phytoestrogens such as soy milk to regulate your diet. Repeat ultrasound regularly to monitor changes.

    It is recommended to complete gynecological examination, ultrasound and hormone level testing when uterine effusion occurs. Avoid sitting for long periods of time in daily life, which may cause pressure on the pelvic cavity, and bathing in the tub is prohibited during menstruation. It is advisable to choose high-protein foods such as fish and soy products, and limit raw and cold irritating foods. If the effusion persists or is accompanied by severe abdominal pain or fever, timely medical treatment is required to rule out malignant tumors and other lesions.
