Patient's question:
I had an episode last year. At that time, after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which quickly controlled the condition when taken internally. However, recently, I've started experiencing discomfort in my private area again, with abnormal discharge and a particularly strong odor. Could you please tell me what treatments are typically required 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. 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 be slightly enlarged and tender to touch. Chronic cases also present similarly and may include excessive menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and pronounced lumbosacral discomfort. The best treatment method currently is adopting traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) regulation and treatment. Combining TCM and Western medicine can effectively address the superficial symptoms of the disease while thoroughly resolving the fundamental causes of blood poisoning. Patients can also appropriately decide to use physical therapy based on their specific conditions.
