Patient's question:
How is cervical endometritis usually treated?Gender: Female
Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: Originally, there were no problems with the cervix. I had taken medication for 2-3 years due to a fungal vaginal infection. I continued taking the medication because I was afraid of recurrence if the treatment was not thorough. Although tests showed no fungus during this period, I felt it was never fully healed, so I kept taking the medication. After stopping the medication, a year later I went for a check-up and was diagnosed with cervical endometritis. During the examination, it bled upon touch. The doctor recommended medication, but I was hesitant to use it, fearing it was caused by over-medication. Another year passed, and then I went...
Doctor's answer:
During treatment, in addition to the primary use of antibiotics, it is also necessary to remove obvious causes, such as removing an intrauterine device, clearing residual placental tissue in the uterine cavity, endometrial polyps, etc. If there is an submucosal uterine fibroid or endometrial cancer, appropriate treatment should be administered based on the situation. In cases of uterine cavity abscess, the cervical os should be dilated to promote pus drainage. After the inflammation is controlled, a diagnostic should be performed to rule out early-stage uterine cancer, to avoid misdiagnosing early cancer as inflammation and delaying treatment. For chronic cases, physical therapy may also be considered, including: electrocautery, cryotherapy, laser therapy, etc.
