Patient's question:
I feel very unwell. I often have lower abdominal pain, like being pricked with needles. Then I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have endometritis. What should I do if I have endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is an inflammatory change in the structure of the endometrium caused by various reasons. The uterine cavity has good drainage conditions and cyclic endometrial shedding, which rarely allows inflammation to persist in the endometrium for a long time. However, if the acute phase of inflammation is not treated thoroughly, or if there are frequent sources of infection, it can recur repeatedly. The treatment of endometritis should target the cause of endometrial inflammation. Acute endometritis often occurs after miscarriage or during the postpartum period, related to retrograde bacterial infection of the uterine wound. Therefore, active treatment of reproductive tract inflammation before childbirth, attention to personal hygiene after miscarriage and postpartum, can play a certain role in preventing the recurrence of acute endometritis.
