Patient's question:
Last year, I had an episode of it. At that time, after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which quickly controlled the condition when taken internally. However, recently, discomfort has returned to my private area, and my discharge is also abnormal, with a very strong odor. Please ask: What are the symptoms of endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your question, endometritis is considered in two types: acute and chronic. The main causes of acute endometritis include miscarriage, postpartum infection, insertion of an intrauterine device, cervical dilation, diagnostic or cervical physical treatments such as electrocautery, laser, or microwave. Downward infections from pathogens such as sexually transmitted diseases can also lead to it. Additionally, endometrial polyps, submucosal uterine fibroids, and other conditions often cause endometritis. The causes of chronic endometritis are largely similar to those mentioned above. The inflammation is confined to the mucosa and underlying tissues of the cervical canal, while the vaginal part of the cervix may be smooth, with only purulent discharge blocking the cervical os. Sometimes, the mucosa becomes fibrotic, and the cervical os appears red and congested.
