Uterine atrophy is actually very common in life. If it is not treated in time, it will have a great impact on the health of the uterus. There are several causes of uterine atrophy, such as physiological atrophy and pathological atrophy, which are relatively large categories. 1. Causes of uterine atrophy The causes of atrophy can be divided into two categories: physiological atrophy and pathological atrophy. The former is the degeneration of certain organs and tissues at a certain stage of body development. Such as the thymus in adolescence; the gonads, breasts, and uterus after menopause; and the atrophy of various organs in the elderly. The latter is atrophy that occurs under pathological conditions. For example, systemic atrophy is often caused by long-term malnutrition, wasting diseases (such as malignant tumors) and long-term starvation. Local atrophy is common in brain and kidney atrophy caused by local ischemia (such as atherosclerosis); local compressive atrophy caused by long-term pressure (such as hydronephrosis compressing the renal parenchyma, causing it to atrophy and become thinner); disuse atrophy caused by long-term inactivity of limb organs (such as: when a fractured limb is fixed with plaster, the muscles and bones atrophy due to long-term inactivity); target organ atrophy caused by endocrine dysfunction (such as atrophy of the thyroid, adrenal glands, gonads and other organs caused by hypopituitarism in Simon's disease). 2. Symptoms of uterine atrophy Women's menstrual cycle is a normal physiological phenomenon caused by the regular periodic thickening, spiraling and shedding of the endometrium. However, it needs to rely on the coordination of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary and the cyclical response of the endometrium to sex hormones for support. Endometrial atrophy can be caused by many causes, including ovarian dysfunction, pituitary lesions, and endometrial cancer. The clinical manifestations of endometrial atrophy are severe lesions such as decreased menstrual volume and infertility. It is generally more common in women of childbearing age. In specific situations, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to find out the cause so as to provide symptomatic treatment. |
