Populations prone to endometrial tuberculosis

Who are the most susceptible to endometrial tuberculosis? Endometrial tuberculosis is a type of tuberculosis. It refers to the infection of the endometrium by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can easily cause fallopian tube blockage, endometrial inflammation, and affect the ovaries. What are the symptoms of endometrial tuberculosis?

1. Increased vaginal discharge

Due to tuberculosis of the endometrium, all of it is transformed into caseous granuloma-like tissue, and serous and foul-smelling vaginal discharge occurs. If combined with cervical tuberculosis, there may be purulent or purulent-bloody discharge, and contact bleeding

2. Irregular menstruation

Due to the influence of endometrial tuberculosis, the endometrium may become congested or ulcerated in the early stage, resulting in menorrhagia; in the late stage, the endometrium is damaged, affecting its function, causing infrequent menstruation or even amenorrhea.

3. Lower abdominal pain

Patients with endometrial tuberculosis 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. Infertility

Because tuberculosis of the endometrium destroys the environment for the implantation and development of the fertilized egg, or tuberculosis of the fallopian tubes blocks the fallopian tubes and causes infertility, many patients come to the hospital for examination because of infertility, and are finally diagnosed with endometrial tuberculosis.

5. Systemic symptoms

In severe cases, systemic symptoms such as fatigue, night sweats, low fever, weight loss and loss of appetite may occur.

6. Gynecological examination

It is often found that the patient's uterus is poorly developed, small or deformed. If combined with pelvic tuberculosis, positive signs such as pelvic masses or tenderness can be felt.
