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 discharge also has a strong odor. Please ask: What medications are available to treat endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, during the treatment of endometritis, in addition to primarily using antibiotics, it is also necessary to remove obvious causes, such as removing an intrauterine device, clearing residual placental tissue in the uterine cavity, and removing endometrial polyps. The main symptoms of acute endometritis include fever, lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, which may sometimes be bloody or foul-smelling, and sometimes the uterus is slightly enlarged with tenderness upon palpation. Chronic cases present similarly. For patients with endometritis, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean at all times. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
