Patient's question:
I have had a bad smell from my vagina these days, and it's also bleeding. I was diagnosed with endometritis. What should I do after suffering from endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is divided into two types: acute and chronic. Acute endometritis is generally caused by miscarriage, postpartum infection, insertion of an intrauterine device, cervical dilation, or downward transmission of pathogens such as sexually transmitted diseases into the uterine cavity, leading to inflammation. Endometrial polyps and submucosal uterine fibroids can also cause endometritis. Chronic endometritis is mainly due to the failure to effectively control the condition during the acute phase, resulting in the worsening of the disease. When treating endometritis, in addition to appropriately using antibiotics, it is also necessary to completely remove residual placental tissue or endometrial polyps in the uterine cavity. If there are submucosal uterine fibroids or endometrial cancer, additional treatment should be provided based on the situation.
