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: Where is the best place to treat endometritis?Doctor's answer:
During the acute phase of inflammation, it is first necessary to thoroughly remove the inflammatory secretions accumulated in the uterus. Saline solution (0.9%), povidone-iodine solution (0.02%), or potassium permanganate solution (0.1%) should be used to flush the uterus. After flushing, it is essential to expel any remaining solution. Finally, 800,000 to 1,600,000 International Units of penicillin or 1 gram of chlortetracycline can be infused into the uterus for treatment.Endometritis is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
