Patient's question:
After giving birth, I experienced a prolonged menstrual period with fluctuating flow. Yesterday, I visited a doctor who diagnosed me with endometritis. I would like to inquire about the possible causes of endometritis.Doctor's answer:
Bacteria invading the endometrium causing inflammation is called endometritis. Postpartum infection and infectious miscarriage are common causes of endometritis, and they are also severe types. The placement of an intrauterine device, radium needles, cervical dilation and curettage, cervical electrocoagulation, endometrial polyps, submucosal uterine fibroids, or endometrial cancer can all lead to recurrent endometritis. The common bacteria that cause endometritis include E. coli, Staphylococcus, etc. Endometritis is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of care. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to hygiene. Wishing female patients a quick recovery!
