Patient's question:
I had an episode last year. At that time, after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication. Both topical and oral treatments quickly controlled the condition. However, recently, discomfort has returned to my private area, and my vaginal discharge is abnormal with a very strong odor. I was wondering, what would be the best treatment for endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is an inflammation of the endometrium. The main symptoms include irregular menstruation or uterine bleeding; lower abdominal pain or a sense of heaviness; increased leukorrhea; fever, etc.; Additionally, the uterus may be enlarged, tender to touch, and the surrounding tissues may be thickened and painful.Treatment for endometritis should target the cause of the inflammation in the endometrium. For example, if there is placental residue, it should be completely removed; if a breast pump is placed inside the uterus, it should be removed as soon as possible; if there are uterine fibroids or polyps, surgical removal is necessary.
Endometritis is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
