What is the significance of fluid in cervical canal post menopause women?

Fluid within the cervical canal in postmenopausal women should not be present after menopause. It may indicate various conditions, including a pyocele, mucocoele, endocervical polyp, or a malignancy, such as cervical cancer. As cancer cannot be ruled out, further evaluation is always necessary. Typically, a transvaginal ultrasound is performed to determine the size and location of the fluid. If the fluid appears cystic and unilocular, it is most likely benign. If the ultrasound results suggest potential malignancy, a colposcopy and saline infusion sonohysterography or a biopsy may be recommended. Therefore, fluid within the cervical canal after menopause warrants investigation to accurately identify and address the underlying cause.
