Patient's question:
Female, 20 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 endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is the inflammation of the endometrium. Based on the duration of the course, it can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis. After a recurrence of endometritis, the entire uterine cavity often experiences edema and exudation. During the acute phase, it may also cause systemic symptoms, such as fever, chills, elevated white blood cells, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea (vaginal discharge), which may sometimes be bloody or foul-smelling. The uterus may be slightly enlarged with tenderness. Chronic cases also present similarly, and may include symptoms such as excessive menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and significant lumbosacral discomfort. Endometritis is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their 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!
