Patient's question:
I had an episode last year. At that time, after checking at the hospital, medication was prescribed. Both topical and oral treatments quickly controlled it. However, recently, discomfort has returned to the private area, and the leukorrhea is also abnormal with a very strong odor. Please ask: How should endometritis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Acute symptoms primarily manifest as fever, lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, sometimes bloody or foul-smelling, and occasionally a slightly enlarged uterus. Those with palpable uteruses also exhibit similar symptoms. It may also cause excessive menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and lumbosacral appendageal distension. Severe endometritis can further progress to uterine myometritis, salpingitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease, exacerbating the condition.We advise you to seek medical treatment at a hospital to avoid missing the optimal treatment window. For patients with endometritis, in addition to medication for relief, it is essential to prioritize self-care. This includes maintaining hygiene, avoiding sexual activity, and reducing consumption of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, we strongly urge female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
