Patient's question:
I've been experiencing severe lower abdominal pain recently, and I've been avoiding sexual activity. Now there's some bleeding in my vagina, and I don't know what's wrong. I got checked at the hospital and found out I have endometritis. I'm not sure what precautions I should take for this condition.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if diagnosed with acute endometritis, it is essential to take medication in sufficient dosage as prescribed by the doctor and undergo comprehensive treatment. At the same time, rest in bed and adopt a semi-recumbent position to localize inflammatory exudates at the lowest part of the pelvic cavity and facilitate the discharge of lochia. Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, clean the external genitalia daily and change underwear to prevent reinfection. In terms of dietary care, drink plenty of water and consume a diet rich in protein and vitamins. Abstain from sexual activity during the illness.
