Patient's question:
I don't know what illness it is. During my menstrual period, I experienced lower abdominal heaviness, distension, and pain, as well as lower back and sacral soreness. I didn't dare to take any medication casually. My friend's sister said I might have endometritis, and I'm very scared. I don't know if this condition is treatable.Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometritis is an inflammatory change in the structure of the endometrium caused by various reasons. The uterine cavity has good drainage conditions and cyclic endometrial shedding, which rarely allows inflammation to persist long-term in the endometrium. However, if the acute phase of inflammation is not treated thoroughly, or if there is a constant source of infection, it can recur repeatedly. During this period, it is important to maintain external genital hygiene, bathe frequently, and change underwear. Sexual activity and tub baths should be avoided for at least 1 month.
