Patient's question:
Female, 18 years old. My daughter has no sexual activity, and I am also quite attentive to her hygiene. However, recently the girl has been experiencing vulvar itching, which has affected her studies and made her very distressed. Question: How should patients with endometritis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis can be classified 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 during intrauterine or uterine surgery. If 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 vaginal discharge, purulent blood-like discharge with a 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, and even sepsis or 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.
