Do you know the four common cervical diseases?

The uterus is one of the important organs of women and the key to women's pregnancy of the next generation. However, many women in life are now facing the trouble of uterine diseases. These diseases may even lead to female infertility. So what are the common uterine diseases in life?

Uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women, and they occur more frequently in middle-aged women, with an incidence rate of approximately 35-45%. Uterine fibroids can cause infertility, miscarriage, menorrhagia, secondary anemia, and sexual dysfunction.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a disease caused by the growth of endometrial tissue in abnormal locations outside the surface of the uterine cavity wall. Ectopic endometrium is usually located in the pelvic cavity, but it can also be located in organs outside the pelvic cavity. Secondary progressive dysmenorrhea is its main feature.

Intrauterine adhesions

Intrauterine adhesion refers to the partial or complete adhesion of the anterior and posterior walls of the uterine cavity, causing the uterine cavity to narrow or disappear. It is mainly caused by damage to the basal layer of the endometrium due to surgery or pathological changes, and occasionally occurs after vacuum extraction or curettage.

Endometritis

Endometritis is an inflammation of the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. When the inflammation develops to a severe stage, it can affect the myometrium and become myometritis, which is an extension of endometritis. The main reasons are miscarriage, puerperal infection, etc., which seriously affect fertility. Abnormal uterine development, such as primary amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, infertility, habitual miscarriage, malposition of the fetus in each pregnancy or dystocia, etc., should first think of the possibility of uterine malformation. Common ones include immature uterus, unicornuate or bicornuate uterus, septate uterus, etc.
