Patient's question:
I had an episode of it last year. At that time, after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which quickly controlled it both internally and externally. However, recently, my private area has started to feel uncomfortable again, and my discharge is abnormal with a very strong odor. How is endometritis diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, 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 and uterine surgery. If treatment is not thorough or timely, it may become chronic. It manifests as congestion, edema, and inflammatory exudate in the endometrium, and may even form ulcers. Common symptoms include increased leukorrhea, purulent blood-like discharge with a foul odor, lower abdominal pain, and lower back pain. It can progress to conditions such as myometritis, tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic peritonitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, sepsis, and bacteremia. For patients with endometritis, in addition to timely treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training.
