Patient's question:
Abdominal bloating and pain, relieved after applying cold compress, went to the hospital for check-up, doctor diagnosed endometritis. I would like to ask about effective treatments for endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is the inflammation of the endometrium. According to the duration of the course, it can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis. Patients with endometritis should rest in bed and adopt a semi-recumbent position to help localize the inflammation and drain secretions from the uterine cavity. Cold compresses on the lower abdomen can be applied to promote the resolution of inflammation and improve 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 for high fever. The diet should consist of liquid or semi-liquid, easily digestible foods rich in high calories, high protein, and various vitamins. For patients unable to defecate, intravenous digestive nutrition and fluids should be administered, with attention paid to correcting electrolyte imbalances and acidosis.
