Endometritis is a common gynecological inflammation, among which acute Endometritis needs more attention, especially the cause of the disease needs to be clarified at ordinary times, and preventive measures also need to be taken.
Causes of acute Endometritis
1. Under normal circumstances, the female vagina is in an acidic environment, and there are mucous plugs in the cervix, which are the physiological barrier of the human body and can resist the invasion of bacteria. However, under special circumstances, such as physiological days, childbirth, abortion and various uterine cavity operations, the barrier function is weakened or disappeared, which is easy to cause bacterial invasion and cause Endometritis.
2. Not paying attention to personal hygiene. Cases of sexual intercourse on holidays and heterosexual sexual intercourse with venereal diseases are also prone to this disease. Elderly women are prone to senile Vaginitis and further develop into Endometritis due to the decline of estrogen in their bodies, the decline of acidity in the vagina and the decline of cervical mucus suppository.
