Patient's question:
My wife's physical condition has deteriorated significantly since giving birth to our baby. For nearly two months, her menstrual flow has been very abnormal—suddenly becoming much heavier and accompanied by menstrual cramps. She has never experienced such symptoms before, so I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The diagnosis confirmed acute endometritis.Doctor's answer:
According to the pathogenic bacteria causing the infection, it can be divided into two types: tuberculous and non-tuberculous. (1) Tuberculous endometritis is caused by the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is often secondary to tuberculous salpingitis. (2) Non-tuberculous endometritis is more common and is caused by the transmission of general pathogens. It is commonly seen during menstruation, miscarriage, and postpartum: such as the presence of residual placenta and fetal membranes during childbirth, sexual intercourse during menstruation, prolonged uterine bleeding, incomplete miscarriage infection, downward transmission from cervical, vaginitis, infectious transmission from endometrial polyps or submucosal myomas.
