Patient's question:
Endometritis needs attention. Usually, there's nothing wrong, but every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I feel uncomfortable down there. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the smell is also very unpleasant. This has been troubling me for a long time.Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of endometritis, it is not only necessary to promptly use antibiotics but also to remove obvious causes, such as removing an intrauterine device, relieving and 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 cervical os should be dilated to force pus drainage, and a diagnostic should be performed after the inflammation is controlled to rule out cancer. In some chronic cases, physical therapy may also be considered. For patients with endometritis, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as paying close attention to personal hygiene, avoiding sexual activity during medication, and reminding female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
