Patient's question:
I am really suffering. My uterus always has inflammation, and this condition has been troubling me for a long time. Despite treatment, there hasn't been a significant improvement. Could you please tell me: What are the causes of 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 with tenderness. Chronic cases also exhibit similar symptoms, which may include excessive menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and pronounced lumbosacral discomfort. The female vagina has an acidic environment, which serves as a physiological barrier that can resist bacterial penetration.
