Patient's question:
Last year, I had an episode of endometritis. After checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which quickly controlled the condition through both topical and oral administration. However, recently, I've been experiencing discomfort in my private area again, along with abnormal discharge and a particularly strong odor. Could you please specify which departments or specialists I should consult for endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is an inflammation of the endometrium, which can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis. After a recurrence of endometritis, the entire uterine cavity often experiences edema and exudation. During the acute phase, it may also cause systemic symptoms, such as fever, chills, elevated white blood cells, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea (vaginal discharge), which may sometimes be bloody or foul-smelling. The uterus may appear slightly enlarged and tender. The infection can be caused by sexually transmitted diseases, but sometimes there may be no obvious trigger. It is primarily due to bacterial infection.
