Effects of endometrial tuberculosis on the fetus

What is the impact of endometrial tuberculosis on the fetus? Experts point out that this is because the uterus of women is particularly susceptible to infection after childbirth, which is when endometrial tuberculosis will occur. If women want to prevent this from happening, they should pay more attention to their body care after childbirth, and don't think that there are no taboos just because they have given birth.

Endometrial tuberculosis refers to the invasion of bacteria into the endometrium, which causes tuberculosis. Postpartum infection and infectious abortion are the most common causes of endometrial tuberculosis, and are also the most serious types. Common bacteria that cause endometrial tuberculosis include Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

In addition to the main application of antibiotics, the treatment of postpartum endometrial tuberculosis also requires the removal of obvious predisposing factors, such as removing the intrauterine contraceptive device, clearing the residual placental tissue and endometrial polyps in the uterine cavity, etc. If there is submucosal fibroids or endometrial cancer, appropriate treatment should be given according to the situation. If there is uterine cavity pyosis, the cervix should be dilated to promote the drainage of pus, and a diagnostic curettage should be performed after the tuberculosis is controlled to rule out the presence of cancer.

Women suffering from postpartum endometrial tuberculosis should rest in bed, preferably in a semi-recumbent position, to facilitate the limitation of tuberculosis and the drainage of uterine secretions; hot compresses can be applied to the lower abdomen to promote the absorption of tuberculosis and relieve pain; bowel movements should be kept open to reduce pelvic congestion and facilitate the excretion of toxins; physical cooling can be used in case of high fever; a liquid or semi-liquid diet that is easy to digest and contains high calories, high protein, and multiple vitamins is recommended.

If the mother's water broke for a long time during delivery, she should pay close attention to whether she has abdominal pain, fever, abnormal pus and foul-smelling secretions after delivery, so as to determine whether the endometrium has symptoms of tuberculosis as soon as possible.

When endometrial tuberculosis is first diagnosed, it may be acute, and women will feel severe abdominal pain at this time. However, after a period of time, the symptoms will be alleviated. If women take it lightly, acute endometrial tuberculosis will turn into chronic.
