Patient's question:
I have had a bad odor in my vagina these days, and there is also bleeding. After examination, I was diagnosed with endometritis. What is endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is an inflammation of the endometrium. According to 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 recurs with edema and exudation. During the acute phase, it may also cause systemic symptoms, such as fever, chills, leukocytosis, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea, sometimes bloody or foul-smelling, and sometimes the uterus is slightly enlarged with tenderness. The chronic form also presents similarly and may include menorrhagia, lower abdominal pain, and significant lumbosacral discomfort. There are many treatment methods for gynecological diseases, but because the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic methods used also differ. Therefore, patients need to be examined and diagnosed promptly to receive appropriate treatment.
