Patient's question:
Female, 17 years old. My daughter has no sexual activity, and I also pay attention to her hygiene situation. However, recently the girl always feels itchy in the external genital area, and her studies have been affected. She is very troubled. Please ask: What is the most effective way to treat endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is more common after miscarriage and during childbirth. The pathogens mainly have two sources: endogenous pathogens originate from the flora originally residing in the vagina, including aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The other source is exogenous pathogens, primarily pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases. In mild cases, there may be no symptoms or only mild symptoms. Common symptoms include lower abdominal pain, fever, and increased vaginal discharge. The abdominal pain is persistent and may be relieved after movement or masturbation. If the condition is severe, symptoms may include chills, high fever, headache, and loss of appetite. During menstruation, the condition may cause the menstrual flow to increase continuously and the menstrual period to prolong. Treatment primarily involves antibiotics, and the appropriate antibiotic should be determined based on drug sensitivity tests. It is essential to identify the pathogen and treat accordingly. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
