Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and there's also a lot of discharge, which is yellow and has a foul, fishy smell. What could be going on? Please ask:What should I do if I have endometritis?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is a condition where the endometrial structure undergoes inflammatory changes again due to various causes. The uterine cavity has good drainage conditions and cyclic endometrial shedding, which rarely allow inflammation to persist in the endometrium for a long time. However, if the acute phase of inflammation is not treated properly or there are frequent sources of infection, it can recur repeatedly. Chronic endometritis is the most common cause of miscarriage. A liquid or semi-liquid, easily digestible diet that is high in calories and protein, as well as containing a variety of vitamins, is recommended. For those who cannot eat, intravenous nutritional support and fluids should be provided, and attention should be paid to correcting electrolyte imbalances. Endometritis is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene, with a light diet as the foundation. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
