Patient's question:
My mother has been experiencing frequent lower abdominal pain recently, irregular menstruation, and an increase in yellow leukorrhea. She was told she has chronic endometritis. How should this be treated? Please advise; how should one treat endometritis after it has developed?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 promote the resolution of inflammation and improve 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, easily digestible foods rich in high calories, high protein, and a variety of vitamins is recommended. For those who cannot defecate, intravenous nutritional support and fluids should be administered, with attention paid to correcting electrolyte imbalances and acidosis. Endometritis is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur.
