What are the symptoms of endometritis?

Patient's question:

My colleague said recently she doesn't know what the reason is, her leukorrhea has been particularly excessive, much more noticeable than before, and sometimes it contains blood streaks. It also has a disgusting odor. The more severe symptoms include occasional lower abdominal pain and lower back pain. She searched online and suspects she might have endometritis.

Doctor's answer:

Endometritis generally has the following symptoms: the endometrium becomes congested, edematous, and has inflammatory exudates, even forming ulcers. Common symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, which becomes purulent and bloody with a foul odor, lower abdominal pain, and lower back pain. It can progress to conditions such as myometritis, tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic peritonitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, sepsis, or bacteremia. It is recommended that your colleague seek medical attention as soon as possible for a definitive diagnosis, to identify the cause, and to receive early treatment. Additionally, during the treatment of gynecological conditions, the patient's dietary status and care are also very important. The patient must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light and nutritious foods to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above information can assist you. Thank you.
