Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and have a lot of discharge that is yellow and smells fishy and foul. What could be going on? Please ask: How is endometritis best treated?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is generally caused by the impairment of the protective function and self-cleaning mechanism of the female reproductive tract during childbirth or destruction, which increases the opportunity for pathogens to invade the reproductive tract. Clinically, it is primarily characterized by endometrial congestion, purulence, and a large amount of purulent secretions in the vagina with a foul odor. If it is uterine myometritis, the uterus fails to recover properly, accompanied by abdominal tenderness, especially at the fundus. It may also present with symptoms of infection such as high fever, headache, and elevated white blood cell counts. The recurrence of endometritis severely affects a woman's health, and patients need to maintain clean external genital hygiene and avoid sexual activity in daily life. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive professional treatment.
