Patient's question:
I'm not married, but I don't know why I got chronic endometritis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, chronic endometritis can lead to infertility. The specific reasons for infertility include:1. When suffering from endometritis, local inflammatory cell infiltration and the leakage of inflammatory mediators exhibit embryotoxic effects, which are unfavorable for sperm viability and embryo implantation. If the inflammation affects the fallopian tubes, it can cause obstructive infertility.
2. Severe endometritis, such as tuberculosis, amoebiasis, and schistosomiasis infections, can lead to ulcers and inflammatory exudation in the endometrial tissue, resulting in intrauterine adhesions and fibrosis. This disrupts the integrity and function of the endometrium, causing menstrual disorders and infertility.
3. After sperm enters the uterine cavity, inflammatory factors such as bacterial toxins and leukocyte phagocytosis can cause sperm death or reduced motility, significantly reducing the number of sperm reaching the fallopian tubes and thus affecting fertility.
4. Fertilized eggs may have difficulty implanting in inflamed endometrium, or implantation may be hindered due to anti-endometrial antibodies, leading to infertility.
