Patient's question:
I have had a bad odor in my vagina these days, and there is also bleeding. I was diagnosed with endometritis. What are the symptoms of endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is generally caused by the loss of protective and self-cleaning functions of the female reproductive tract during childbirth or destruction, which increases the opportunity for pathogens to invade the reproductive tract, leading to inflammation. In clinical diagnosis, it is mainly characterized by endometrial congestion, purulent discharge, and a large amount of purulent secretions in the vagina with a foul odor. If it is uterine myometritis, the uterus fails to return to normal, accompanied by abdominal tenderness, especially at the fundus. It may also present with symptoms such as high fever, headache, and elevated white blood cell counts.
