Patient's question:
My sister got married last year. She has been experiencing lower abdominal pain and cramps, especially on her period. She is very worried about it affecting her fertility and is extremely sensitive to cold. Please ask; is endometritis definitely something that needs to be treated?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 a recurrence 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 (vaginal discharge), which may sometimes be bloody or foul-smelling. The uterus may slightly enlarge and become tender. Chronic cases also exhibit similar symptoms, which may include excessive menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and significant lumbosacral discomfort. The best treatment method currently is to adopt traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) conditioning therapy. Combining TCM and Western medicine can effectively address the superficial symptoms of the disease.
