What are the symptoms of endometrial tuberculosis during menstruation?

According to clinical data, in recent years, the initial cause of female infertility in most patients is endometrial tuberculosis. Many patients do not understand the initial symptoms of endometrial tuberculosis, delay treatment, and the condition worsens, leading to serious consequences. So what are the symptoms of endometrial tuberculosis? Let's take a look at the experts' explanation.

1. Dysmenorrhea:

Progressive dysmenorrhea is a common and prominent feature of patients with endometrial tuberculosis, and is mostly secondary. Patients complain that they used to have no pain during menstruation, but dysmenorrhea began to occur at a certain period, which can occur before, during, and after menstruation. Some dysmenorrhea is so severe that they need to stay in bed or take medication to relieve the pain. The pain often worsens with the menstrual cycle and disappears at the end of menstruation.

2. Irregular menstruation:

Shortened menstrual cycle, increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual period indicate that endometrial tuberculosis has been complicated by ovarian dysfunction.

3. Pain during sexual intercourse:

When there are tuberculous endometrial nodules in the vaginal vault, nodules or adhesions in the rectal pit, or ovarian adhesions to the pelvic floor, sexual intercourse pain can occur.

4. Urinary system symptoms:

When there are tuberculous endometrial nodules, rectal pouch nodules or adhesions in the vaginal vault, or ovarian adhesions to the pelvic floor, the fibrosis and contraction of the posterior lobe of the broad ligament are obvious, which can exogenously compress the ureter, causing it to be narrowed and blocked, and urinary system symptoms may also occur.

5. Symptoms of periodic rectal irritation:

The progressive and aggravated periodic rectal irritation symptoms are rarely seen in other similar diseases and are the most valuable symptoms for diagnosing this disease. The rectum, anus, and vulva are distended, painful, and feel tenesmus, and the frequency of bowel movements increases. When the lesion gradually worsens, the symptoms become more obvious, and disappear after menstruation.

Warm reminder: As can be seen from the above content, the symptoms of endometrial tuberculosis are relatively obvious and easy to identify. Therefore, if female friends find themselves experiencing the above symptoms, they must pay attention to it and go to a professional hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the disease, endangering physical and mental health, and affecting future fertility. I wish you good health.
