Patient's question:
During the physical examination, the doctor said I have endometritis. Sometimes I have lower abdominal pain and a sensation of heaviness [4 or 5 days before my period]. The discharge is watery.Doctor's answer:
Hello, women with endometritis often experience lower abdominal dull pain or a sense of fullness, pain in the waist muscles, increased leukorrhea (vaginal discharge) that may be watery, pale yellow, purulent, or bloody. They may also have irregular vaginal bleeding, prolonged menstrual periods, dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), or amenorrhea (absence of menstruation). The uterus may appear spherical, soft, and tender, with possible bloody or purulent discharge. Approximately 20% of chronic endometritis patients may be asymptomatic and only discovered during a gynecological examination by a doctor. Once diagnosed, it is essential to receive timely treatment to avoid the development of other conditions, the consequences of which are unimaginable. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments, as this approach does not lead to drug resistance and yields better results. Chinese medicine recommendations include the use of Fuke Qianjin Pian (tablets/capsules). Generally, 3–4 treatment courses are recommended, with 2–3 courses for milder cases. Each course lasts 14 days.Pay attention to postpartum hygiene: maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, bathe frequently, and change underwear. During this period, sexual activity and tub baths should be avoided for at least 1 month.
