Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. Additionally, I've been experiencing discomfort and itching in my private area, with a burning sensation, especially in the afternoon. It's really unbearable. I'd like to ask: What should I do if endometritis worsens?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is the inflammation of the endometrium. The main symptoms of acute endometritis include fever, lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, sometimes bloody or foul-smelling, and sometimes a slightly enlarged uterus with tenderness. Chronic cases also exhibit similar symptoms, but may also include heavy menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and significant lumbosacral discomfort. Based on the duration of the course, it can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis. During the acute phase of inflammation, the first priority is to alleviate and remove inflammatory secretions accumulated in the uterus. This involves using physiological saline, povidone-iodine solution, or potassium permanganate solution to flush the uterus. After flushing, it is essential to ensure that all residual solution is expelled. Finally, penicillin or chlortetracycline can be infused into the uterus for treatment.
