Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and there's also a lot of discharge, which is yellow and smells fishy and foul. What could be going on? Please ask: What are the symptoms of endometritis?Doctor's answer:
1. Leukorrhea will significantly increase, appearing purulent with a foul odor, or bloody. If acute endometritis occurs during the postpartum period, there may be excessive lochia with a foul odor in severe cases.2. Mild fever may reappear, accompanied by a sense of heaviness and distending pain in the lower abdomen, with persistent pain.
3. During a gynecological examination, purulent leukorrhea can be observed at the cervical os, the cervix may exhibit cervical motion tenderness, and the uterus shows mild tenderness upon palpation. Leukocyte counts may decrease, while neutrophils continue to increase.
The recurrence of endometritis poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients should pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene in daily life and avoid sexual activity. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
