Patient's question:
I have been experiencing abdominal pain recently, with some blood streaks in my lower body, and also lower back pain. My menstrual cycle is also not regular, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was endometritis. What kind of assistance is needed: What dietary issues should be noted for endometritis?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is generally treated with anti-infection therapy. The best approach for effective treatment is to go to the hospital for a drug sensitivity test to identify the pathogenic bacteria and determine the effective antibiotics to take. Additionally, you can take some traditional Chinese medicine formulations, such as Women's Golden Pills: clearing heat, eliminating dampness, boosting qi, and resolving blood stasis. However, it is advisable to avoid sexual activity, especially during menstruation. Sour and astringent foods should be avoided as they can easily cause stagnation of qi and blood, so patients should refrain from consuming them. Many spicy and irritating foods should also be avoided as they can exacerbate pain. Alcohol, which warms the yang and promotes blood circulation, can be consumed in moderation to help resolve blood stasis and alleviate pain.
