Patient's question:
My sister got married last year. She has been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially on her period, and is very afraid of it affecting her fertility. She also feels extremely cold. Could you please advise on what foods might help with endometritis recovery?Doctor's answer:
Acute endometritis should involve bed rest, with a semi-recumbent position recommended to help localize the inflammation and drain uterine secretions. Cold compresses on the lower abdomen can be applied to promote the resolution of inflammation and enhance blood circulation. It is essential to maintain regular bowel movements to reduce pelvic congestion and aid in toxin metabolism. Excessive gynecological examinations should be avoided to prevent the spread of inflammation. Physical cooling methods can be used during high fever. The diet should consist of easily digestible, liquid or semi-liquid foods rich in high calories, high protein, and a variety of vitamins. For those unable to defecate, intravenous nutritional support and fluids should be administered, with attention paid to correcting electrolyte imbalances and acidosis. Endometritis is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur.
