Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and also have a lot of discharge, which is yellow and smells fishy, quite foul. What could be going on? Please ask: How is endometritis best treated?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is primarily characterized by fever, lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, which may be bloody or foul-smelling at times, and sometimes a slightly enlarged uterus with tenderness. Chronic cases present similarly. It may also include symptoms such as excessive menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and pronounced lumbosacral discomfort. Generally, treating endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease with medication alone is not very effective. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as physical therapy, can be considered for treatment. Endometritis is an easily recurring gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
