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: How is endometritis best treated once it is discovered?Doctor's answer:
If you have endometritis, you should rest in bed and adopt a semi-recumbent position to help localize the inflammation and drain the uterine cavity secretions. Cold compresses on the lower abdomen can be applied to enhance the absorption of inflammation and promote blood circulation. It is important to maintain regular bowel movements to reduce pelvic congestion and aid in toxin metabolism. Excessive gynecological examinations should be avoided to prevent the spread of inflammation. Physical cooling methods can be used for high fever. A diet consisting of liquid or semi-liquid foods that are easy to digest and rich in high calories, high protein, and various vitamins is recommended. For patients who cannot defecate, intravenous nutritional support and fluids should be provided, along with attention to correcting electrolyte imbalances. The recurrence of endometritis severely affects women's health, and patients need to pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and avoiding sexual activity in daily life. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
