Endometritis is a familiar disease and one of the common gynecological diseases, which poses a particularly serious threat to female patients. After experiencing symptoms, we must detect, detect, and treat it as soon as possible. Next, we will investigate its harm together.
How is endometritis caused
1. Under normal circumstances, the female vagina is in an acidic environment, and there are mucous plugs in the cervix, which are the physiological barrier of the human body and can resist the invasion of bacteria. However, in special circumstances, such as during menstruation, childbirth, abortion, and various intrauterine procedures, this barrier effect weakens or even disappears, which can easily cause bacterial invasion and cause endometritis.
2. Not paying attention to personal hygiene. Menstrual sexual intercourse and heterosexual sexual intercourse with sexually transmitted diseases are also prone to this disease. Older women are prone to developing senile vaginitis and further developing endometritis due to a decrease in estrogen levels, vaginal acidity, and cervical mucus clots.
3. Premature postpartum sexual intercourse, menstrual sexual intercourse. Causes pathogenic bacteria to reach the endometrium through the vagina, causing inflammation.
4. Puerperal infection. During the postpartum period, placenta retention in the uterus, incomplete uterine involution, and frequent occurrence of endometritis are the most severe types of endometritis.
5. Endometrial diseases. For example, endometrial polyps, submucosal uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, etc., may also cause endometritis.
6. Surgical procedures. The placement of intrauterine devices, induced abortion and curettage surgery, cervical electrocautery, laser needles, etc., can cause contamination and endometrial infections.
Can endometritis lead to infertility?
1. After sperm enters the uterine cavity, inflammatory factors such as bacterial toxins and white blood cell phagocytosis can lead to sperm death or decreased motility, leading to a significant decrease in the number of sperm entering the fallopian tubes, thereby affecting fertility.
2. The zygote is unstable in implantation, easy to miscarry and sterile.
3. The zygote is not easy to be implanted in the inflammatory endometrium, or the implantation barrier is caused by the anti endometrium antibody, leading to infertility.
The hazards of endometritis
1. Effects on physiological patterns: Symptoms such as fever, weakness, sweating, low back pain, increased vaginal discharge, irregular menstruation, and pelvic pain are symptoms of endometritis.
2. Easy to cause sexual frigidity: Patients with endometritis not only experience increased vaginal secretions, but also symptoms such as low back pain and abdominal pain, which together may lead to sexual frigidity.
