Patient's question:
Feeling very unwell, I often feel lower abdominal pain, like being pricked with needles. Then I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have endometritis. Where is the best place to treat endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Hello. The main symptoms of acute endometritis are fever, lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, sometimes bloody or foul-smelling, and sometimes a slightly enlarged uterus with tenderness. Chronic cases also exhibit similar symptoms, but may also include heavy menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and pronounced lumbosacral pain. Generally, treating endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease with medication alone is not very effective. It is recommended to use integrated Chinese and Western medicine or physical therapy methods for treatment. Endometritis can be divided into tuberculous and non-tuberculous types, and it is an important factor leading to infertility. Acute endometritis is often caused by cross-infection during childbirth or intrauterine or uterine surgery. If treatment is incomplete or delayed, it may become chronic. The condition is characterized by congested and edematous endometrium with inflammatory exudates, and may even form ulcers. Common symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, purulent and bloody discharge with a foul odor, and lower abdominal pain with backache.
