Patient's question:
Medical Description: What is endometritis and under what circumstances can it be infected? Can I be treated with only anti-inflammatory medication? I have previously had cervical inflammation and underwent physical therapy, which has largely healed. First Follow-up Question: I have taken anti-endometritis medication for six days. Recently, I went for a check-up, and the doctor said my cervix has largely healed, there is no significant tenderness in the uterus, and prescribed an additional ten days of medication, stating I won't need a follow-up after completing it. They mentioned that taking medication during menstruation can enhance its effectiveness—is that correct? Second Follow-up Question: Since I am not yet pregnant, could physical therapy for cervical inflammation affect my ability to conceive?Doctor's answer:
Endometritis is the inflammation of the endometrium. According to the duration of the course, it can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis. After the occurrence of endometritis, the entire uterine cavity often becomes edematous and exudative. In the acute phase, it may also lead to systemic symptoms, such as fever, chills, leukocytosis, lower abdominal pain, increased leukorrhea, sometimes bloody or malodorous. The infection can be caused by sexually transmitted diseases, but sometimes there may be no obvious trigger. It is mainly bacterial infection, and the types of bacteria include: Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, anaerobic bacteria, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In addition, there are infections caused by pathogens such as mycoplasma. According to the causative bacteria of the infection, it can be divided into tuberculous and non-tuberculous types.
