Patient's question:
I don't usually have any problems, but after every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I feel uncomfortable in my private area. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the smell is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Please ask: How long does it take to relieve symptoms after endometritis treatment?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis can occur spontaneously. Endometritis can be divided into tuberculous and non-tuberculous types, and it is an important factor causing infertility. Acute endometritis is often caused by cross-infection during childbirth or during uterine cavity and uterine surgery. If the treatment is not thorough or timely, it may become chronic. It is characterized by congestion, edema, and inflammatory exudates in the endometrium, and even ulcers may form. Common symptoms include increased leukorrhea, purulent blood-like discharge with a foul odor, lower abdominal pain, and lower back pain. It can progress to conditions such as myometritis, tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic peritonitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, sepsis, or bacteremia. For patients with endometritis, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
