Patient's question:
A female who is unmarried has been diagnosed with chronic endometritis. Currently, her symptoms are abdominal pain and excessive menstrual flow. Should she take medication? Can virgins also get endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Virgins can also get endometritis. When treating endometritis, it is not only necessary to use antibiotics promptly but also to remove obvious causes, such as removing an intrauterine device, completely clearing residual placental tissue in the uterine cavity, endometrial polyps, etc. If there are submucosal uterine fibroids or endometrial cancer, additional treatment should be provided based on the situation. In cases of uterine cavity abscess, the cervix should be dilated to force pus drainage, and a diagnostic should be performed after the inflammation is suppressed to rule out cancer. In some cases of chronic conditions, physical therapy may also be considered. There are several treatment methods for gynecological diseases, but since patients' symptoms vary, the diagnostic methods used also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as they notice symptoms.
