Patient's question:
I am a female, 25 years old, and have been sick for a long time, but it wasn't until I got checked that I found out it was this disease. Please ask: What is endometritis and what are its symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is an inflammation of the endometrium, which is classified into acute and chronic forms. It involves edema and exudation of the entire uterine body, with tenderness upon palpation. During the acute phase, systemic symptoms may also occur, such as chills, fever, leukopenia, increased leukorrhea (which may be bloody and have an odor), and other abnormalities. In the chronic phase, similar symptoms are present, often accompanied by heavy menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and lumbosacral pain. The symptoms of endometritis include heavy menstruation, dysmenorrhea, infertility, and urinary symptoms.
