Patient's question:
Endometritis, what are the effective treatments? Recently, when washing underwear, I always find a lot of curd-like discharge on it, and it smells very bad. I also feel that the private area is always damp and itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is the inflammation of the endometrium. According to the duration of the course, it can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis. Patients with endometritis should rest in bed and adopt a semi-recumbent position to help localize the inflammation and drain the secretions from the uterine cavity. Cold compresses on the lower abdomen can be applied to promote the resolution of inflammation and improve blood circulation. It is important to maintain regular bowel movements to reduce pelvic congestion and aid in toxin metabolism. Excessive gynecological examinations should be avoided to prevent the spread of inflammation. Physical cooling methods can be used when high fever occurs. The diet should consist of liquid or semi-liquid, easily digestible foods that are high in calories, protein, and various vitamins. For patients who cannot defecate, intravenous nutrition and fluids should be administered, and attention should be paid to correcting electrolyte imbalances and acidosis.
