Patient's question:
Female, 18 years old. My daughter has no sexual life, and I am also quite attentive to her hygiene situation. However, recently the young girl always feels itchy in the external genital area, and her studies have been affected. She is very distressed. Please ask: How should patients with endometritis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis can be divided into tuberculous and non-tuberculous types, and it is a significant factor leading to infertility. Acute endometritis is often caused by cross-infection during childbirth or intrauterine and uterine surgery. If the treatment is incomplete or delayed, it may become chronic. It is characterized by congestion, edema, and inflammatory exudates in the endometrium, and may even form ulcers. Common symptoms include increased leukorrhea, purulent blood discharge, foul odor, lower abdominal pain, and lower back pain. It can progress to conditions such as uterine myitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic peritonitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, sepsis, and bacteremia. The recurrence of endometritis poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients should pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
