Can intrauterine fluid be expelled by taking Xinhua Shenghua Granules?

Fluid accumulation in the uterine cavity refers to the presence of varying amounts of liquid within the uterus. In general, for fluid accumulation caused by poor uterine involution, taking Xinshenghua Granules usually helps expel the fluid. However, if the accumulation is due to inflammation or other underlying conditions, taking Xinshenghua Granules alone may not be effective, and additional medical treatments are often required. The details are as follows:

1. Poor Uterine Involution

Xinshenghua Granules are a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, with main ingredients including Angelica sinensis (Danggui), Leonurus japonicus (Yimucao), and Ligusticum chuanxiong (Chuanxiong). It functions to promote blood circulation, regulate qi, resolve blood stasis, warm the meridians to dispel cold, and relieve pain. For fluid accumulation following procedures such as induced abortion, childbirth, or labor induction due to inadequate uterine recovery, Xinshenghua Granules can typically enhance uterine contractions, thereby facilitating the expulsion of accumulated fluid, lochia, and residual tissue.

2. Inflammation or Other Conditions

Inflammatory diseases such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and cervicitis can also lead to fluid accumulation in the uterine cavity, which results from inflammatory exudate. When excessive fluid accumulates, it forms an effusion. In such cases, simply taking Xinshenghua Granules will not effectively remove the fluid because the underlying inflammation must first be resolved; otherwise, the fluid may persist or even continue to accumulate. For inflammatory conditions, antibiotics should be used under medical guidance, such as Roxithromycin Dispersible Tablets, Amoxicillin Capsules, or Clarithromycin Dispersible Tablets.

Besides inflammation, other factors such as congenital malformations of the reproductive tract, intrauterine device (IUD) displacement, or endometrial polyps may also cause uterine fluid accumulation. Xinshenghua Granules are generally ineffective in these situations, and further treatment must target the specific underlying cause. For example, surgical removal is recommended for tumors, while radiotherapy or chemotherapy may be considered in cases of malignant transformation.

Uterine fluid accumulation can be classified as either physiological or pathological. It is advisable to seek prompt medical evaluation to determine the exact cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, maintaining a balanced, light diet during treatment is recommended.
