Patient's question:
Last year, I had an episode of endometritis. After checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which included both topical and oral treatments, and the condition was quickly controlled. However, recently, I've been experiencing discomfort in my private area again, with abnormal discharge and a particularly strong odor. Could you please advise on how to treat endometritis more quickly?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent endometritis occurring after childbirth or miscarriage should be addressed promptly. If placental tissue remnants are suspected, they should be thoroughly removed immediately while antibiotics are being administered. However, it is advisable to gently clear the weak residual tissue in the uterine cavity, avoiding as much as possible. should only be performed once the antibiotic dosage is sufficient and the inflammation is under control to prevent the spread of infection.If the uterus has active erosion, it can be cleaned under the use of large amounts of antibiotics. Additionally, if a lactation device is present in the uterus, it should be removed as soon as possible to completely eliminate the primary focus of infection and control its spread.
For patients with endometritis, in addition to medication, proper self-care is also essential. This includes paying close attention to personal hygiene, avoiding sexual activity during medication, and regularly following up with check-ups. It is strongly recommended that female patients undergo periodic follow-up examinations!
