Patient's question:
Female, unmarried, diagnosed with chronic endometritis. Current symptoms are abdominal pain and heavy menstrual flow. Should she take medication? What are the methods for diagnosing and treating endometritis?Doctor's answer:
When treating acute endometritis, routine bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests are performed to determine the most effective antibiotics. Before the test results are available or for those without the means to conduct the test, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillin can be used. After a negative skin test, penicillin in a dose of 800,000 to 1,600,000 units is administered intramuscularly twice daily. If the bacterial culture is aerobic bacteria, gentamicin is injected intramuscularly at a dose of 80,000 units per time, every 8 hours. If the culture results show anaerobic bacteria, metronidazole is more suitable, taken orally at a dose of 0.4 grams per time, three times daily.
