Patient's question:
I have been very anxious about not getting pregnant for a long time. Recently, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with uterine infertility. I would like to know what are the causes of uterine infertility?Doctor's answer:
The causes of uterine infertility may include the following:1. Uterine adhesions; Improper induced abortion and excessive curettage can both lead to uterine adhesions. Uterine adhesions are a common cause of uterine infertility and can be treated through methods such as uterine and cervical dilation.
2. Uterine fibroids; Although uterine fibroids are benign tumors, their presence can cause the uterine cavity to separate, making it difficult for the fertilized egg to implant in the cavity. The size of the polyps and the chosen treatment method vary; if the polyps are small, diagnostic curettage can be used, while larger polyps may require minimally invasive treatment such as hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery.
3. Endometritis; Infections caused by improperly disinfected abortion instruments, transmission through sexual activity, or the spread of nearby inflammation can all lead to endometritis, altering the uterine environment and affecting the implantation or development of the fertilized egg. If drug treatment is ineffective, a curettage surgery may be performed to remove the infected endometrium.
