Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 28 years old this year. Currently, I work as an executive assistant in a company. I am living with my boyfriend now. Recently, I have been feeling uncomfortable down there. I would like to ask the doctor how to treat endometritis besides adnexitis?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is an inflammatory condition affecting the endometrium of the uterine body. When the inflammation spreads to a severe stage, it can affect the uterine muscle layer, leading to uterine myometritis, which is an extension of endometritis. Endometritis is classified into acute and chronic types. The main cause of acute endometritis is miscarriage or childbirth. The inflammation is confined to the mucosa and underlying tissues of the cervical canal, while the vaginal part of the cervix may remain smooth, with only purulent secretions blocking the cervix. Sometimes, the mucosa may become fibrotic, with the cervix appearing red and congested. In addition to symptomatic treatment for gynecological diseases, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good treatment outcome.
