What are the causes of endometritis?

Everyone knows that married women are at high risk of gynecological diseases. They often suffer from gynecological inflammation due to bacterial infections and other reasons. Endometritis is one of the most common types of inflammation. Specifically, what are the causes of endometritis? Women must have a deeper understanding of this, so let’s take a look at the information collected by the editor.

Endometritis is mainly caused by bacterial infection, such as not paying attention to menstrual hygiene, taking antibiotics indiscriminately, improper care after abortion surgery, etc. The female vagina is an acidic environment and the cervix has a mucus plug, which are physiological barriers that protect the most vulnerable part of the female body. The acidic environment can resist the invasion of bacteria. However, under special circumstances, such as menstruation, childbirth, and miscarriage, this natural barrier function is weakened or even disappears, resulting in bacterial invasion and ultimately causing various gynecological inflammations, including endometritis. The main causes of endometritis are:

1. Having sexual intercourse too early after childbirth or during menstruation: Some female friends have sexual intercourse too early after childbirth or during menstruation, which may cause pathogenic bacteria to reach the endometrium through the vagina and cause inflammation.

2. Puerperal infection: Intrauterine placenta retention and incomplete uterine involution during the puerperal period often lead to endometritis, which is the most serious type of endometritis.

3. Diseases in the uterine cavity: such as endometrial polyps, submucous uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, etc., may also cause endometritis.

4. Chronic endometritis: It is relatively rare because the endometrium is shed once a month and the inflammatory endometrium can be discharged from the body with menstruation. If the basal layer of the endometrium becomes inflamed, the new endometrium will also be infected, resulting in chronic endometritis.

After reading this information, female friends must have a new definition of endometritis in their hearts, and may no longer be as confused as before, so start with the little things in life and actively prevent the occurrence of inflammation. If you find any related symptoms, you should seek treatment in time.
