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, along 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, if placental tissue remnants are suspected, should be thoroughly removed immediately while antibiotics are being used. However, it is advisable to gently remove the weak residual uterine cavity material without (D&C) as much as possible. D&C can 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 a large amount of antibiotics. If the uterus contains a breast pump, it should also 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, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is important to remind female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
