Patient's question:
Female, 52 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing severe itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: How does endometritis develop?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is often caused by downward infections from reproductive organ diseases, gynecological diseases, and vaginitis, leading to inflammation of the endometrium. Therefore, daily care is crucial. If you have gynecological inflammation, seek treatment promptly to prevent the inflammation from spreading downward. Pay attention to local hygiene, clean the area before and after sexual activity, and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse during menstruation to avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with endometritis, in addition to medication for relief, it is also necessary to emphasize self-care. For example, maintain hygiene during treatment and keep the private area clean at all times. Lastly, we advise female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
