Patient's question:
I've been having my period for over a month without stopping, and the flow is very heavy. After a thorough examination, the doctor said there were no tumors. Could this be endometritis? If it is endometritis, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is relatively unfamiliar to many people. Endometritis refers to the inflammation of the endometrium. Based on the duration of the course, it can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis. The main manifestations of acute endometritis include fever, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea (sometimes bloody or foul-smelling), and sometimes a slightly enlarged uterus with tenderness. Chronic cases exhibit similar symptoms and may also include excessive menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and significant lumbosacral discomfort. First, active treatment should be sought. This can help reduce inflammation while lowering the body's immune response. Postpartum, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming easily digestible, protein-rich, and vitamin-containing nutritious foods to maintain good physical health.
