Patient's question:
Female, 55 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in the outer labia and vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for patients with endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is an inflammatory condition of the endometrium caused by various factors leading to structural changes in the endometrial tissue. The uterine cavity has good drainage conditions and cyclic endometrial shedding, which rarely allow inflammation to persist long-term in the endometrium. However, if acute-phase inflammation is not treated thoroughly or if there are frequent sources of infection, the condition can recur repeatedly. Patients should maintain a positive mindset, actively pursue treatment, avoid excessive stress, and focus on a light diet. A light diet should be the foundation, avoiding spicy, extremely cold, or irritating foods. Pay attention to digestion and nutrition. Maintain good personal hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation. For patients with endometritis, in addition to standard treatment, self-care is also crucial. For example, during treatment, maintain hygiene and keep the private area clean. Lastly, it is strongly advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
