Causes and treatments of uterine inflammation

The uterus is an organ that produces menstruation and nurtures the fetus. It is also a very important organ for every woman. It plays an important role in helping women realize their dream of becoming mothers. However, as age increases, the uterus will always experience various inflammations and may even develop serious diseases such as uterine cancer. The uterus is really a blessing and a curse for women. So what causes uterine inflammation? How should women be treated when they have inflammation?

Causes of uterine inflammation:

First, although the endometrium is shed periodically, its basal layer does not shed with it. Once the basal layer is chronically inflamed, it can infect the functional layer of the endometrium for a long time, leading to chronic endometritis. The existence of tuberculous endometritis has the same mechanism.

Second, long-standing salpingo-oophoritis or severe cervicitis can lead to chronic endometritis.

Third, intrauterine contraceptive devices can cause chronic endometritis.

Fourth, a small amount of placenta remains after delivery or abortion, or incomplete restoration of the placental attachment part is often the cause of chronic endometritis.

5. For women after menopause, due to the significant decrease in estrogen levels in the body, the endometrium and vaginal mucosa become thinner and more susceptible to invasion by pathogens, leading to inflammation. Clinically, senile endometritis and vaginitis often coexist.

Treatment

(1) Empirical antibiotic treatment For patients with the following high-risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases (such as age under 25 years, multiple or new sexual partners, and unprotected sexual intercourse), empirical antibiotic treatment against Chlamydia is used before the results of pathogen testing are obtained.

(2) Antibiotic treatment targeting pathogens For those who have acquired pathogens, choose antibiotics targeting the pathogens. Since Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection is often accompanied by chlamydial infection, if it is gonococcal cervicitis, in addition to using anti-Neisseria gonorrhoeae drugs, anti-chlamydial infection drugs should also be used during treatment.
