Endometrial tuberculosis is not contagious

Is endometrial tuberculosis contagious? This is a question that many patients are concerned about and worried about. We all know that infectious diseases bring dual harms, not only endangering the health of the patients themselves, but also threatening the people around them. Patients with endometrial tuberculosis are afraid that they will infect their loved ones. So, is endometrial tuberculosis contagious?

The main source of endometrial tuberculosis infection is pulmonary or peritoneal tuberculosis, which is an inflammation of the endometrium caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is contagious, so patients should pay more attention in daily life, take safety measures during sexual intercourse, avoid direct contact, so as not to infect their significant other.

Endometrial tuberculosis is mostly caused by the spread of fallopian tube tuberculosis. When tuberculosis bacteria infect the body, the disease usually does not occur immediately, but after a period of incubation. During the incubation period, when the body is in a poor resistance, tuberculosis bacteria can invade the endometrium and eventually affect the basal layer of the endometrium. Due to the influence of tuberculosis lesions, the endometrium can be congested or ulcerated in the early stage, and menorrhagia occurs; in the late stage, the endometrium is damaged, affecting the function of the endometrium, causing infrequent menstruation or even amenorrhea.

Because endometrial tuberculosis destroys the environment for fertilized eggs to implant and develop, or because fallopian tuberculosis blocks the fallopian tubes, causing infertility, many patients come to the hospital for infertility examinations and are finally diagnosed with endometrial tuberculosis. Most cases are caused by combined pelvic tuberculosis, which leads to pelvic congestion, adhesions or abscess formation, causing lower abdominal pain.

Patients should pay attention to strengthening their physical fitness, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, strengthen nutrition, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, eat more poultry, fish, eggs and milk rich in protein, participate in physical activities appropriately, strengthen their physical fitness, improve their own resistance, prevent the invasion of diseases, and affect your health.
