Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling constant pain in my lower abdomen and aching waist. The external genitalia and vaginal opening are extremely itchy, and the odor of the discharge is also very strong. Please ask: How is endometritis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is a condition where the endometrium undergoes inflammatory changes due to various reasons. The uterine cavity has good drainage conditions and cyclic endometrial shedding, which rarely allow inflammation to persist long-term in the endometrium. However, if the acute phase of the inflammation is not treated thoroughly, or if there is a frequent source of infection, it can recur.To treat endometritis, the approach should target the underlying cause of the inflammation. Primary endometritis often occurs after miscarriage or childbirth, associated with retrograde bacterial infection of the uterine wound. Therefore, actively treating reproductive tract infections before childbirth, and paying attention to personal hygiene after miscarriage and childbirth, can play a certain role in preventing recurrent acute endometritis.
