Patient's question:
I had a D&C procedure on October 23rd, and 18 days later, I developed bacterial vaginosis. It healed in a week, but after my period, I experienced itching around the vaginal opening, and my period lasted longer. On the third day when there was no bleeding, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with endometritis. The doctor prescribed Danhuang Quyu capsules. In the morning, the bleeding had stopped, but after taking Danhuang Quyu capsules in the afternoon, there was a small amount of bleeding again. What could be the reason for this?The help I need: Can I continue taking this medicine? I am currently unable to take antibiotics.
Doctor's answer:
This, I believe, doesn't require too special a solution. After undergoing a D&C procedure, there is naturally some inflammation, which generally can heal on its own. Moreover, taking Dan Huang Qiu Yu capsules won't be very effective for endometritis. However, Dan Huang Qiu Yu capsules promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Since you have mild endometritis, I think it's best to use them in combination with Gong Xue Ning. As for the inflammation, it usually heals on its own after menstruation, as the endometrium repairs itself. That's how it is. I suggest you observe carefully. That's all. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
