Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and also have a lot of discharge, which is yellow and smells fishy. What could be going on? Please ask: What are the treatments for endometritis?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 (IUDs). Removing these triggers can quickly alleviate chronic endometritis. If an IUD has been placed, it should be removed. Additionally, oral ethinyl estradiol at a dose of 1 mg per day for one month can be administered. The effectiveness can be further enhanced by adding appropriate antibiotics, such as penicillin, streptomycin, erythromycin, or gentamicin, but these should only be used under the guidance of a doctor. For patients with endometritis, in addition to medication, it is essential to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean at all times. Finally, it is strongly recommended that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
