Patient's question:
Each month, for 6 to 7 days after my period, I have a little brown discharge, but it disappears after a few days. There is no discomfort, and sometimes I have mild abdominal pain. This month, my period started on November 17th. On November 23rd and December 2nd, I had an ultrasound, colposcopy, and a leukorrhea test, which showed Grade 2 cleanliness with no bacteria. The uterus is normal in shape, with clear boundaries and a smooth surface. The internal light spots are fine and uniform. The left side of the uterine cavity shows a 24 mm thick cervix with 3 mm fused dark areas. The ovaries are normal. The colposcopy revealed creamy white discharge in the vagina and congestion of the vaginal and cervical mucosa. The doctor said the endometrium is thick, indicating endometritis, and prescribed hemostatic medication, anti-inflammatory injections, and pelvic therapy.Hello, is this correct? I consulted a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, who said it was just a case of uterine cold. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: I had a vaginal infection and chronic pelvic once, which has since resolved. What kind of assistance do you need?
Doctor's answer:
Normally, the endometrium is located inside the internal reproductive organs, a very private place, and it has to pass through many layers of defense. The anterior and posterior walls of the vaginal orifice are attached to it. In the vagina, there is an acidic environment that prevents alkaline bacteria from growing. If acidic bacteria pass through, at the cervix, its mucus is alkaline, which serves a cleansing effect, along with many excretory anti-inflammatory cytokines.
