Patient's question:
I have been very anxious about not getting pregnant. 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 lead to uterine adhesions. Uterine adhesions are a common cause of uterine infertility and can be treated through methods such as hysteroscopy 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. The size of the polyps and the chosen treatment method vary. If the polyps are small, diagnostic curettage may suffice. For larger polyps, it is recommended to use minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy and hysteroscopy.
3. Endometritis: Infections caused by improperly sterilized 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.
