Patient's question:
How to treat chronic endometritis? Must it be treated with physical therapy? Recently, I've had lower abdominal dull pain for over a month. I've had discomfort before, but it wasn't continuous. Yesterday, I had an ultrasound examination at Beijing 307 Hospital, which said I have chronic endometritis. The doctor recommended physical therapy, something called semiconductor irradiation, plus antibiotics, cephalexin, and an external gel. I felt it was too expensive, so I didn't do it or buy the medicine. She also suggested that after my next menstrual period, I should do something called a hysteroscopy in one to two days, which seems to examine the inside of the uterus. She's worried about polyps or something else because my period lasts 10 days each time, and it's dark in color with a small amount.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the harm of endometritis should not be ignored. Due to its special location, long-term recurrent attacks can lead to many gynecological inflammatory conditions, and it can also affect sexual life. Severe cases may even result in infertility. Various complications can impact and threaten health and marriage. Therefore, if you suspect you have endometritis, it is crucial to take it seriously to avoid the following situations.Treatment suggestions: Avoid long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, causing more severe inflammatory infections. Consider taking oral traditional Chinese medicine, such as Gynecological Qianjin Tablets (capsules), which have anti-inflammatory effects and can also enhance the body's immunity.
Avoid gynecological examinations and surgeries during menstruation, such as: various vaginal surgeries, fallopian tube patency tests, intrauterine device insertion procedures, etc., to prevent pathogens from ascending and causing infection.
