Patient's question:
Female, 32 years old. Recently, she has found that her private area is always itchy and feels hot, as if it were on fire. Is this a sign of inflammation? Where is it best to treat endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Bacteria invading the endometrium cause inflammation, known as endometritis. Postpartum infection and septic abortion are the most common causes of endometritis, and also the most severe types. The placement of an intrauterine device (IUD), radium needles, cervical dilation and curettage, cervical electrocoagulation, endometrial polyps, submucosal uterine fibroids, or endometrial cancer can all lead to recurrent endometritis. The common bacteria that cause endometritis include Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and others. For patients with endometritis, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to personal care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is important to remind female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
