What are the symptoms and treatments of endometritis?

Women are more likely to suffer from some gynecological diseases after marriage, and the incidence of endometritis is one of the relatively high ones. Patients usually do not realize the seriousness of the disease in the early stages and may think that the lower abdominal pain will go away after a while, but it is during this period that the disease will worsen. What are the common clinical responses of this disease? How should patients receive effective treatment?

In the acute phase of endometritis, the endometrium is congested, edematous, and infiltrated with inflammatory cells, and suppuration occurs in severe cases. The main symptoms of acute endometritis are fever, lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, sometimes bloody or foul-smelling, and sometimes a slightly enlarged uterus and tenderness. The symptoms of chronic cases are basically the same, and may also include menorrhagia, lower abdominal pain, and obvious swelling in the lumbar area. Acute endometritis can further develop into myometritis, salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, making the condition worse.

In addition to the main use of antibiotics during treatment, obvious causes must be removed, such as removing the intrauterine contraceptive device, clearing residual placental tissue and endometrial polyps in the uterine cavity, etc. If there are submucosal uterine fibroids or endometrial cancer, appropriate treatment should be given according to the situation. Patients with uterine cavity pyometra should have their cervix dilated to facilitate drainage of the pus, and a diagnostic curettage should be performed after the inflammation is controlled to rule out the presence of cancer.

Sexual intercourse should be avoided during acute endometritis as it can easily cause the inflammation to spread further. Also, due to increased vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, backache, heaviness and other pains, women's interest in sex decreases and they become bored. Even if the inflammation is under control, it is not advisable to have sex too often after resuming sexual life, so as to avoid recurrence of the disease when the pelvis is congested and the resistance is low. Endometritis can also be treated with professional gynecological medications.
