What are the characteristics of patients with endometrial tuberculosis?

Endometrial tuberculosis mainly occurs in women of childbearing age, and has a clear upward trend in recent years. In addition, surveys show that most female patients with endometrial tuberculosis will have dysmenorrhea, and even lead to infertility, which makes women shudder. The six symptoms of endometrial tuberculosis! The symptoms and signs of endometrial tuberculosis vary with the location of the tuberculous endometrium and are closely related to the menstrual cycle. The main symptoms are as follows:

1. Excessive menstruation: This is internal endometrial tuberculosis, which often causes increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstruation. It may be caused by increased endometrium, but it is often accompanied by ovarian dysfunction.

2. Dysmenorrhea: It is a common and prominent symptom of endometrial tuberculosis. It is mostly secondary. That is, since the onset of endometrial tuberculosis, patients complain that they did not have pain during menstruation in the past, but dysmenorrhea began to occur at a certain period. It can occur before, during and after menstruation. Some dysmenorrhea is so severe that they need to stay in bed or take painkillers. The pain often worsens with the menstrual cycle.

3. Pain during sexual intercourse: This symptom occurs in endometrial tuberculosis of the rectouterine fossa and vaginal rectal septum, causing swelling of the surrounding tissues and affecting sexual life, and the discomfort during sexual intercourse becomes more severe before menstruation.

4. Infertility: Endometrial tuberculosis patients are often accompanied by infertility. Although the causal relationship between infertility and endometrial tuberculosis is still controversial, pelvic endometrial tuberculosis can often cause adhesions around the fallopian tubes, affecting the collection of oocytes or causing tube lumen blockage. Or ovarian lesions may affect the normal ovulation and cause infertility. However, some people believe that long-term infertility and no menstrual closure period can cause the chance of endometrial tuberculosis; once pregnant, the tuberculous endometrium is suppressed and atrophies.

5. Bladder symptoms: more common in patients with endometrial tuberculosis to the bladder, with periodic urinary frequency and painful urination; when the bladder mucosa is invaded, periodic hematuria may occur.

6. Stool distension: This symptom usually occurs before or after menstruation. The patient feels unbearable pain when stool passes through the rectum, but does not feel this at other times. It is a typical symptom of endometrial tuberculosis in the rectouterine fossa and near the rectum. Occasionally, the tuberculous endometrium reaches deep into the rectal mucosa, resulting in rectal bleeding during menstruation. Patients with endometrial tuberculosis lesions surrounding the rectum to form a stenosis have symptoms of tenesmus and obstruction, which is similar to cancer.
