Introduction
Uterine fluid accumulation may be caused by factors such as fluid accumulation during ovulation, early pregnancy, uterine bleeding, endometrial polyps, or endometriosis. During a woman's ovulatory period, changes in estrogen levels may lead to increased secretion from the endometrial glands, resulting in a small amount of fluid accumulation. This fluid typically gets absorbed on its own after ovulation and does not affect a woman's health.

Under normal circumstances, uterine fluid accumulation may be caused by factors such as fluid buildup during ovulation, early pregnancy, uterine bleeding, endometrial polyps, or endometriosis. If discomfort occurs, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Fluid Accumulation During Ovulation

During a woman's ovulation period, changes in estrogen levels may lead to excessive secretion by the endometrial glands, resulting in a small amount of fluid accumulation. This fluid is typically absorbed naturally after ovulation and does not affect a woman's health.

2. Fluid Accumulation in Early Pregnancy

In early pregnancy, some women may experience minor intrauterine fluid accumulation due to embryo implantation and development. This fluid is often related to minor bleeding during the implantation process and is usually absorbed on its own.

3. Uterine Bleeding

Uterine bleeding may be caused by ruptured endometrial polyps, uterine rupture, or other uterine conditions. This bleeding can lead to blood accumulation within the uterine cavity, forming fluid buildup, and may present symptoms such as vaginal bleeding or menstrual irregularities. Patients can take medications such as Etamsylate Tablets, Baogong止血Granules, orProgesterone Capsules under the guidance of a qualified physician.

4. Endometrial Polyps

Endometrial polyps may be associated with elevated estrogen levels or inflammatory stimulation. These polyps are localized overgrowths of the endometrium, forming masses covered with abundant blood vessels and glands. When the polyps are large or numerous, they may block the cervical canal or uterine horns, hindering the normal drainage of fluid from the uterine cavity and leading to fluid accumulation, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as uterine bleeding or menstrual irregularities. It is recommended that patients follow medical advice to use medications such as Gongxueteng Granules, Aminomethylbenzoic Acid Tablets, or Cefdinir Dispersible Tablets for treatment.

5. Endometriosis

During the menstrual cycle, when hormonal levels fluctuate, displaced endometrial tissue behaves similarly to normal endometrial tissue by proliferating, bleeding, and shedding. However, because the tissue cannot be expelled through normal physiological pathways, it may cause local inflammatory reactions and fluid accumulation, often accompanied by symptoms such as pain during intercourse and infertility. Patients should follow medical advice and use medications such as Dienogest Tablets, Triptolide Capsules, or Mifepristone Tablets for treatment.

In daily life, women are advised to avoid heavy physical labor and excessive fatigue to prevent worsening of uterine fluid accumulation.
