Is endometritis requiring treatment?

Patient's question:

I always feel a slight dull pain in my stomach, and because it has persisted for quite some time, I went for a thorough check-up the past two days. I had many tests done, and I thought I might have contracted some kind of inflammation, but there were no serious gynecological issues. It's just that my endometrium has some inflammation. Now, I don't know how to treat it.

Doctor's answer:

When treating endometritis, in addition to promptly using antibiotics, it is also necessary to remove obvious causes, such as removing an intrauterine device, completely clearing residual placental tissue in the uterine cavity, endometrial polyps, etc. If there are submucosal uterine fibroids or endometrial cancer, additional treatment should be performed 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 suppressed to remove any cancerous lesions. In chronic cases, therapeutic modalities may also be considered.
