The main route of transmission of endometrial tuberculosis

What are the main transmission routes of endometrial tuberculosis? Many people do not understand this issue, but we need to have knowledge about the disease in order to prevent it. So below we will introduce the main transmission routes of endometrial tuberculosis, hoping to be helpful to everyone.

Hematogenous transmission: During adolescence, the reproductive organs develop and the blood supply is abundant, so Mycobacterium tuberculosis can easily spread through the blood. After Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects the lungs, it can infect the internal reproductive organs within about a year. Because the fallopian tube mucosa is conducive to the latent infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis first invades the fallopian tubes and then spreads to the endometrium and ovaries in turn. It rarely invades the cervix, vagina or vulva.

Direct spread: Peritoneal tuberculosis and intestinal tuberculosis can spread directly to the internal reproductive organs.

Transmission during menstruation: When women have their period, the endometrium will fall off and become free, and the blood sinuses inside the uterine cavity will open, causing blood clots. The environment during women's menstrual period provides very good conditions for the growth of bacteria. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, or use substandard sanitary napkins, or have sex during sexual intercourse, bacteria will take this opportunity to cause retrograde infection, which can lead to the occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease in women.

Gynecological postoperative infection: Some artificial abortions, sterilization surgeries, angiography, intrauterine and abdominal surgeries, etc., if they are not strictly disinfected before the surgery, or if the female reproductive organs are already inflamed, it is very easy for the female to be infected during the surgery. And if the female does not pay attention to personal hygiene during the recovery period of the surgery, does not follow the doctor's instructions for recovery, and has sex during the recovery period, it will cause bacterial infection and lead to the occurrence of female pelvic inflammatory disease.

Spread of appendage inflammation: When many women have inflammation in their reproductive organs, it is difficult to detect because there are no obvious symptoms. When the inflammation gradually becomes serious, it will spread to the nearby reproductive organs, causing female pelvic inflammation. Some chronic inflammations can also cause congestion in the female pelvic area through the circulation of lymphatic blood, thus causing female pelvic inflammation.

Postpartum or post-abortion infection: Women are very weak after childbirth or miscarriage, and the cervix is ​​dilated and not well closed. Women should pay special attention to bacteria remaining in the cervix, which can easily cause infection. If there are still placenta and fetal membrane residues in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection will increase.
