What causes endometritis?

The uterus is a very important organ in the female body, which affects the female reproductive function. Clinically, some gynecological diseases occur in the female uterus. Endometritis is also a relatively common gynecological disease. There are many factors to consider when endometritis occurs. In severe cases, it may also affect women’s reproductive function. So what is endometritis caused by?

1. Endometritis mainly refers to the inflammation caused by bacteria invading the endometrium. It is common in clinical practice that women with endometritis will cause great trouble to their life and health. Common bacteria that cause endometritis include Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The main causes of endometritis are postpartum infection or infectious abortion, which are the most common causes. Intrauterine contraceptive device placement or uterine surgery may also cause endometritis.

2. Women are more prone to infection during menstruation, after artificial abortion, or after childbirth. This is mainly because women's immunity decreases during this period, and bacteria can easily invade women's bodies, causing endometritis. In addition, as women age, the hormone levels in their bodies will continue to decline, and the vaginal environment will also change, causing vaginitis and leading to endometritis.

3. Endometritis is a type of pelvic inflammatory disease, and its cause is related to sexual activity: people who are young, have multiple sexual partners, have frequent sexual intercourse, or whose sexual partners have sexually transmitted diseases are also prone to pelvic inflammatory diseases. Infection of the lower reproductive tract; infection is also prone to occur after surgical operations within the uterine cavity. Poor sexual hygiene, such as sexual intercourse during menstruation and lack of attention to sexual hygiene. And the spread of inflammation to adjacent organs, such as appendicitis and peritonitis spreading to the pelvic cavity.
