Patient's question:
Abdominal distension and pain, relieved after cold compress, went to the hospital for examination, the doctor diagnosed endometritis. I would like to ask what are the nursing precautions for endometritis?Doctor's answer:
The main manifestations of acute endometritis are fever, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea, sometimes bloody or malodorous. At times, the uterus may be slightly enlarged with tenderness upon palpation. Chronic cases exhibit similar symptoms, but may also include excessive menstrual bleeding, significant lower abdominal pain, and lumbosacral discomfort. Generally, relying solely on medication to treat endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease is not very effective. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as physical therapy, can be considered for treatment. For patients with endometritis, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
