Patient's question:
Last year, I had an episode of endometritis. After checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which included both topical and oral treatments, and the condition was quickly controlled. However, recently, I've been experiencing discomfort in my private area again, along with abnormal discharge and a particularly strong odor. Could you please advise on what precautions should be taken when treating endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is the inflammation of the endometrium. According to the duration of the course, it can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis. After the occurrence of endometritis, the entire uterine cavity often experiences edema and exudation. During the acute phase, it may also cause systemic symptoms, such as fever, chills, elevated white blood cells, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea, sometimes bloody or malodorous, and sometimes the uterus is slightly enlarged. The symptoms of palpable tenderness in the uterus are also basically the same. It can also include excessive menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and lumbosacral discomfort. The best treatment method currently is to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese medicine regulation and Western medicine treatment. This approach can effectively address the superficial symptoms of the disease while thoroughly resolving the root cause of blood poisoning. Depending on the specific situation, appropriate physical therapy can also be determined.
