What are the symptoms of pelvic tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis is becoming more and more common. Do you know what pelvic tuberculosis is? Women with pelvic tuberculosis will have increased menstruation or heavy bleeding. If it is not diagnosed or treated in time, the condition will become serious. Most of the endometrium will be severely damaged and menstruation will become less and less. Some patients with pelvic tuberculosis may also experience symptoms such as night sweats and low-grade fever.

symptom:

After the endometrium is infected by tuberculosis, the initial symptoms include excessive menstrual bleeding or spotting due to inflammation, congestion or ulcers of the endometrium. If not diagnosed and treated in time, the disease can progress further, destroying most of the endometrium, causing menstruation to become sparse. Finally, the endometrium is completely destroyed and replaced by scar tissue, at which point menstruation stops. Patients with pelvic tuberculosis may have common systemic symptoms of tuberculosis, such as low-grade fever, night sweats, weight loss, weakness, etc., or they may not have any symptoms at all.

reason:

The disease is often secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis. In the genitals, the fallopian tubes are the first to be infected, followed by the endometrium and pelvic peritoneum. Ovarian and cervical tuberculosis are less common.

Countermeasures:

Patients with primary infertility, oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease that cannot be cured, and a history of pulmonary tuberculosis and intestinal tuberculosis may suffer from this disease and can ask a doctor to take a sample of the endometrium for pathological examination. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the patient should receive regular treatment in the hospital. The way to prevent pelvic tuberculosis is to strengthen exercise, improve physical fitness, do a good job of BCG vaccination, and actively prevent and treat pulmonary tuberculosis, lymph node tuberculosis and intestinal tuberculosis.

Treatment:

Once the diagnosis of pelvic tuberculosis is confirmed, active treatment should be given regardless of the severity of the disease, especially for patients with mild symptoms. It is difficult to be sure whether the lesions have become static or cured. This is to prevent the disease from worsening once the patient's immune function declines in the future. Even if there are no obvious symptoms, the benefits and risks should be explained to the patient and he should be persuaded to accept treatment.

Current treatment for pelvic tuberculosis includes general treatment, anti-tuberculosis drug treatment and surgical treatment.

General treatment of pelvic tuberculosis

Pelvic tuberculosis, like tuberculosis of other organs, is a chronic wasting disease. The strength of the body's immune function plays an important role in controlling the development of the disease, promoting lesion healing, and preventing recurrence after drug treatment. Therefore, patients in the acute phase need to rest in bed for at least 3 months. After the lesion is suppressed, you can engage in light activities, but you should also pay attention to rest, increase nutrition and vitamin-rich foods, get enough sleep at night, and be in a good spirit. Infertile women should be comforted and encouraged in particular to relieve their worries, so as to facilitate the recovery of their overall health.
