Patient's question:
I haven't dared to have sex with my husband recently. Every time we do, it's a bit painful inside, and it's easy to get chafed. I had endometritis a while ago, and it has slightly improved, but suddenly yesterday I noticed a bit more discharge and some chafing. What should I do about the increased discharge and the recurring endometritis?Doctor's answer:
During the inflammatory period, sexual activity should not be engaged in, as the mucosa becomes congested and swollen with reduced elasticity, making sexual activity prone to causing damage and tearing. Incomplete treatment can also lead to recurrent episodes. Since we cannot conduct thorough examinations or prescribe medications online, it is recommended to visit a formal hospital. Under the guidance of a doctor, treatments such as anti-inflammatory medications, oral traditional Chinese medicine, vaginal or rectal medications, and physical therapy can be used for. It is crucial to complete the treatment before stopping medication, and sexual activity is strictly prohibited during the treatment period.
