摘要: 人体内的微生物对于人体健康起着至关重要的作用。维持人体内部微生物菌群的生态平衡利于保持健康。菌群生态失调与许多疾病的发生有关,其中就包括子宫内膜异位症。对于子宫内膜异位症来说,微生物菌群生态失调可能会产生慢性炎症,从而创造有利于子宫内膜异位症发展的环境。本文重点分析生殖道微生物菌群的生态失调对子宫内膜异位症发病机制的影响,旨在通过探明该方面的影响为子宫内膜异位症的治疗提供依据。

关键词: 子宫内膜异位症, 生殖道微生物, 生态失调, 炎症介质, 免疫状态, 激素水平

Abstract: Microorganisms in the human body play a crucial role in human health. Maintaining the ecological balance of the internal microbial flora in the human body to achieve a balanced immune system is conducive to maintaining health. Dysbiosis of this microbial community has been linked to the onset of various diseases, including endometriosis. In cases of endometriosis, such dysbiosis may incite chronic inflammation, thereby fostering an environment conducive to its progression. This review specifically analyzed how dysbiosis in this region influences the pathogenesis of endometriosis, aiming to provide references by elucidating these underlying mechanisms.

Key words: Endometriosis, Reproductive tract microorganism, Ecological imbalance, Inflammatory mediators, Immune status, Hormone levels
