Patient's question:
Recently, I've had severe abdominal pain during my menstrual period, and after the period, there's also a lot of white discharge. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said I have endometritis. Is endometritis serious?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis patients may experience persistent minimal vaginal bleeding and discharge of purulent or pale bloody secretions. The main symptoms of acute endometritis include fever, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea, sometimes bloody or foul-smelling, and sometimes mild endometritis. During an attack, patients should avoid sexual activity as it can easily lead to further spread of inflammation. When endometritis recurs, symptoms may include lower abdominal fullness and pain, lower back and sacral soreness, increased leukorrhea that is thin and pale yellow, sometimes bloody, with regular menstruation but increased menstrual flow and prolonged duration.
