Patient's question:
Female, 52 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the discharge also has a strong odor. Please ask: How is endometritis best treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is an inflammatory condition of the endometrium. The recurrence of elevated white blood cells, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea (which may be bloody or foul-smelling at times), sometimes a slightly enlarged uterus, uterine tenderness, and also heavy menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and significant lumbosacral discomfort. The treatment for endometritis generally involves controlling infection, preferably intravenous administration of antibiotics until symptoms disappear, then switching to intramuscular injections of antibiotics for about a week before stopping the medication. For patients with endometritis, in addition to oral medication, it is also important to pay attention to personal care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
