Patient's question:
I feel very unwell. I often have lower abdominal pain, like being pricked with needles. Then I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have endometritis. What is the best way to deal with endometritis?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 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, it is first necessary to thoroughly remove the inflammatory secretions accumulated in the uterus. The uterus should be flushed with physiological saline, Neosporin solution, or potassium permanganate solution. After flushing, it is essential to drain out any residual solution. Penicillin or chlortetracycline can be infused into the uterus for treatment.
