Patient's question:
There is some itching near the vagina, increased discharge with blood streaks, and a foul odor. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had endometritis. I am very careful about hygiene in the vagina and have never had an abortion. How could I get endometritis? Hello, could you please tell me what are the causes of endometritis?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes of endometritis, mainly downward infections from gynecological inflammation, such as vaginitis and cervicitis. Secondary causes include intrauterine surgical procedures, such as induced abortion and cervical erosion, which can also lead to endometritis. Neglecting personal hygiene, especially during menstruation without proper vaginal cleanliness, or having sexual intercourse during the menstrual period, can allow bacteria to invade and cause endometritis. For endometritis, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, pay more attention to personal hygiene, and avoid sexual intercourse during medication.
