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 smells fishy and foul. What could be going on? Please ask: How should one take care of themselves after endometritis surgery?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis primarily causes symptoms such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. When treating chronic endometritis, the first step is to identify any underlying triggers, such as retained placenta or intrauterine devices. Removing these triggers can quickly alleviate chronic endometritis. Otherwise, relying solely on anti-inflammatory treatment will not yield significant results. Daily oral administration of diethylstilbestrol at a dose of 1 milligram for one month can be effective. Adding appropriate antibiotics, such as penicillin, streptomycin, erythromycin, or gentamicin, can further enhance the efficacy. However, it is essential to use these medications under the guidance of a doctor.Endometritis is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change their underwear frequently. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
