Who is more likely to get endometrial tuberculosis?

Who is more likely to get endometrial tuberculosis? The incidence of gynecological diseases is getting higher and higher, and endometrial tuberculosis is one of them. Endometrial tuberculosis has a great impact on women's lives, so in daily work and life, we must pay attention to health care. So what is endometrial tuberculosis? Let's take a look.

Symptoms of endometrial tuberculosis

1. Irregular menstruation

In the early stage, the endometrium may become congested or form ulcers, resulting in excessive menstruation; in the late stage, the endometrium is damaged, affecting its function, causing infrequent menstruation or even amenorrhea.

2. 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.

3. Lower abdominal pain

It is mostly caused by combined pelvic tuberculosis, which leads to pelvic congestion, adhesion or abscess formation, resulting in lower abdominal pain.

4. Systemic symptoms

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

Endometrial tuberculosis treatment

1. Anti-tuberculosis treatment

At present, anti-tuberculosis treatment adopts short-term combination drug therapy, which shortens the medication time, reduces the medication dosage, alleviates the toxic reactions of drugs, and is easier for patients to accept. When using the medication, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that anti-tuberculosis drugs may cause toxic reactions in some patients, such as nerve damage, liver and kidney function damage (including jaundice), and make appropriate treatment according to the specific situation of the patient.

2. Surgery

(1) Indications for surgery

① The symptoms of fallopian tube and ovarian abscess subsided after drug treatment, but the lump did not disappear, and the patient felt that the symptoms recurred.

② Patients whose drug treatment is ineffective and who develop tuberculous abscesses.

③ A large encapsulated effusion has formed.

④ The endometrium is extensively destroyed and anti-tuberculosis drugs are ineffective.

⑤ For patients with tuberculous peritonitis complicated by ascites, surgical treatment combined with drug therapy is beneficial to the recovery of peritoneal tuberculosis.
