Patient's question:
Female, 52 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing severe itching in the outer labia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also very strong. Please ask: How can the symptoms of endometritis be treated to alleviate them?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is an inflammatory condition of the endometrium. Based on the duration of the course, it can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis. The main symptoms of acute endometritis include fever, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea (sometimes bloody or foul-smelling), and sometimes a slightly enlarged uterus with tenderness. Chronic cases also exhibit similar symptoms, and may also include heavy menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and significant lumbosacral pain.It is recommended that the treatment of endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease with medication alone is often not very effective. Instead, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as physical therapy, can be chosen for treatment. Endometritis is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
