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 been really unbearable. I'm asking: What is the best course of action if endometritis occurs?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is the inflammation of the endometrium. The main symptoms of acute endometritis include fever, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea (sometimes bloody or foul-smelling), and sometimes a slightly enlarged uterus with tenderness. Chronic endometritis exhibits 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 primary goal is to alleviate and remove inflammatory secretions accumulated in the uterus. This involves using physiological saline and povidone-iodine solution or potassium permanganate solution to scrub the uterus. After scrubbing, it is essential to thoroughly drain any residual solution. Finally, penicillin or chlortetracycline can be infused into the uterus for treatment.
