Can endometrial tuberculosis be transmitted to sexual partners?

As we all know, uterine disease is a very common gynecological disease. For women, due to the increasing social pressure, many people will suffer from uterine diseases. Once the disease occurs, timely treatment is required to avoid delaying treatment. So, is endometrial tuberculosis contagious? Let's find out.

Is endometrial tuberculosis contagious?

Whether it is endometrial tuberculosis or other infectious diseases, it will no longer be contagious after being cured and will not be transmitted to your loved ones.

Whether you can get pregnant is related to the recovery of the uterus and whether the fallopian tubes are blocked. Before planning to get pregnant, you should go to the hospital's gynecology department for B-ultrasound, hysterosalpingography, four eugenics examinations, etc. to understand whether your physical condition is good.

The clinical manifestations of endometrial tuberculosis in women are very inconsistent, and generally include the following:

1. Symptoms

(1) General:

Severe patients often have systemic symptoms such as emaciation, weight loss, low fever, night sweats, fatigue, and a history of infertility and menstrual abnormalities.

(2) Vaginal discharge:

The secretion increases. In endometrial tuberculosis, the endometrium is completely transformed into caseous granuloma-like tissue, and serous and foul-smelling vaginal discharge may occur.

If combined with cervical tuberculosis, there may be purulent or bloody discharge and contact bleeding.

(3) Abdominal pain:

Among patients with endometrial tuberculosis, 25% to 50% have varying degrees of lower abdominal pain, which manifests as long-term dull pain in the lower abdomen and worsens before menstruation. If combined with secondary pyogenic infection, obvious abdominal pain, fever and other symptoms similar to acute pelvic inflammatory disease may occur.

(4) Menstrual changes:

In the early stages of the disease, it manifests as excessive menstruation, while in the late stages, due to endometrial atrophy, the menstrual volume becomes scanty or even amenorrhea.

2. Physical signs:

Due to the different severity of the lesions and the range of involvement, the physical signs vary greatly.

3. Related inspections:

1) Abdominal examination: Patients with mild cases such as endometrial tuberculosis may not have any abnormal findings. When peritoneal tuberculosis is present, the abdomen may be tender, flexible, or have ascites. When encapsulated effusion is formed, an inactive cystic mass may be palpated, which is often adhered to the intestinal tract and may be mildly tender.

2) Diagnostic curettage and pathological histological examination: nodular granules can be seen in the endometrium.
