Pathogenic factors and prevention of uterine myopathy

As people's quality of life improves, although they pay more attention to health preservation, diseases will still occur and this cannot be controlled. Only after understanding the cause of this symptom clearly can we take certain preventive measures. So, what exactly is uterine myopathy? Below I will introduce the relevant details to you in detail, hoping to be able to help you.

The cause of uterine myopathy is unknown. Combining epidemiological and pathological conditions, there are several pathogenic factors:

1. The endometrium grows directly downward from the basal layer. The reasons for the downward growth of the endometrium are: ① Mechanical factors: childbirth or curettage causes endometrial damage; ② Chronic inflammation damages the boundary between the endometrium and the myometrium, which is conducive to the downward growth of the endometrium.

2. Age The onset of uterine myopathy is related to age, and most patients develop the disease between 40 and 60 years old.

3. Reproductive status: Uterine myopathy is more common in women who have given birth than in women who have not. Therefore, it is generally believed that the trauma to the uterine wall during pregnancy and childbirth allows the endometrium and stroma to grow into the myometrium, which is the main cause of this disease. However, there are also reports that uterine myopathy may also exist in young nulliparous women and infertile women.

According to the cause of uterine myopathy, in order to prevent the occurrence of uterine myopathy, the following preventive measures can be taken:

1. Avoid unnecessary gynecological examinations during menstruation. If an examination is necessary, be careful not to squeeze the uterus too hard to prevent the endometrium from being squeezed into the fallopian tubes and causing endometrial implantation in the abdominal cavity.

2. Avoid intrauterine surgery during menstruation. For example, the fallopian tube patency test must be performed 3 to 7 days after the menstruation is over. If the surgery is performed before the menstrual blood is clean, endometrial debris may enter the abdominal cavity through the fallopian tube and cause ectopic implantation.

3. Try to avoid gynecological surgery near the menstrual period. If it must be performed, be gentle and avoid squeezing.

4. Adhere to contraception and do not or rarely have artificial abortions. Because negative pressure suction is used, if the pressure and method used during the operation are inappropriate, it can also cause blood to flow back into the abdominal cavity and cause endometriosis implantation.

5. Extreme retroflexion of the uterus or stenosis of the cervix and vagina, congenital absence of vagina (with uterus) and other reproductive tract malformations, cervical adhesions can cause poor or impossible menstrual blood discharge, and retrograde menstrual blood can cause uterine myocardia. Therefore, the above diseases should be actively treated to prevent the occurrence of uterine myocardia.

6. Avoid iatrogenic implantation. When undergoing myomectomy, especially when the uterine cavity is penetrated during the operation, or when undergoing cesarean section or cesarean section to evacuate the fetus, the surgical incision should be protected to avoid implantation of endometrial debris in the incision, causing abdominal wall incision endometriosis, or implantation in the pelvic cavity, causing pelvic endometriosis.

7. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.

The above is a detailed introduction to the pathogenic factors and prevention of uterine myocarditis. I hope that female friends can pay attention to this issue. Minor illnesses and disasters should not be ignored, so as to avoid causing more trouble in the future. So it is better to detect it early and treat it early.
