At the core of the human body — the heart — there is a disease known as the infection of endometriosis, like a killer hidden in the dark, which threatens life and health. Many people have never heard of it, but in fact its harm cannot be minimized.
Infective endometriitis is the inflammation of the heart valve or inner membrane caused by direct infections of bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms (e.g. viruses, rickets, chlamydia, spirals, etc.). It’s like a smooth “protective coat” inside the heart that keeps the heart running. However, when pathogenic microorganisms are invaded and attached to them, a number of serious problems arise. These pathogens can form extra organisms on the inner membranes of the heart, which are like a “pump” that not only destroys the normal structure of the heart, but may also fall off and flow around the body, causing serious complications such as embolism.
So, who is vulnerable to the “hot” of aminophobia? Patients with congenital heart disease, such as cardiac valor development abnormalities, spacing or loss of room spacing, have defects in the heart structure, making it easier for bacteria to stay here and reproduce. Rheumatism heart disease patients, as a result of long-term damage to the heart valve caused by rheumatism, have a rough surface and have conditioned the attachment of pathogens. In addition, in the case of people who have undergone heart surgery or intervention, such as artificial cardiac valve replacements, pacemaker implants, etc., external equipment has become a potential risk point for infection. There are also long-term intravenous drug users, who can enter the blood directly, and thus cause endometriosis, as syringes and drugs may be contaminated.
Symptoms of infectious meningitis are diverse and hidden. Patients may experience fever, with temperature fluctuations ranging from low to high, sometimes continuing, sometimes intermittent, and can be misdiagnosed as common flu or other infectious diseases. It may also be accompanied by whole-body symptoms such as incapacitation, sweat theft, appetite and weight loss, which often leave patients lightly. As the disease progresses, heart stress is gradually emerging, with signs of heart failure, such as panic, short-temporal and respiratory difficulties, and possibly changes in heart hysteria due to dysentery. In the event of embolism caused by the decomposition of organisms, the corresponding symptoms may occur depending on the part of the embolism, such as cerebral embolism which causes paralysing, loss of speech, chest pain, contracting of blood, respiratory difficulties, kidney embolism, etc.
In the case of diagnosis, doctors usually make judgements by combining multiple factors. In addition to a detailed inquiry into the history of the disease and its symptoms, blood tests are essential, and attempts to identify pathogenic microorganisms through multiple blood-stripping cultures are critical for the targeted choice of antibiotics. Ultrasound cardiac mapping allows for a clear view of the structure and function of the heart, and detects corrosive organisms on the inner membrane of the heart, as well as the disease of the valve. In addition, electrocardiograms, chest X-rays, etc., may be performed to fully assess the condition.
The treatment is urgent in the event that the diagnosis is an infection with endometriitis. Antibiotic treatment is the main method, and doctors choose sensitive antibiotics based on blood-breeding results, and use them at sufficient doses and long sessions, generally requiring continuous use of 4 – 6 weeks or even longer to completely eliminate the pathogens. In cases where the condition is severe, such as severe damage to the valve and the difficulty of controlling the heart failure, there may be a need for surgical treatment, such as cardiac valve replacements, biocleaning, etc., to repair the damaged heart structure and improve its function.
The prevention of infectious endocardiitis is essential. For high-risk groups, such as congenital heart disease, rheumatological heart disease and those who have undergone heart surgery, the use of antibiotics should be prevented before performing operations or operations that may cause bacterial haemorrhage, such as oral, upper respiratory and urinary tracts. Care must be taken in daily life to maintain good oral hygiene, regular oral examination and cleaning, since bacteria in the oral cavity are one of the common sources of infectious endometriflammitis. At the same time, it is important to avoid the abuse of intravenous drugs and to avoid them.
Infectious endometriitis, while dangerous, is not inexorable and incurable. Knowledge of their causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods and treatment and preventive measures can help us better protect the health of the heart. Both at-risk populations and the general public should raise awareness of the disease so that early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment can protect the heart from this “hidden killer” and keep life strong and strong.
