Next, this article will introduce to you what endometrial congestion is. Friends who want to know more about this aspect can take a look! Please see the detailed introduction below.

What is endometrial congestion? Endometrial congestion is usually caused by endometritis. Endometritis is an inflammatory change in the endometrial structure caused by various reasons. The uterine cavity has good drainage conditions and periodic endometrial exfoliation, which makes it very unlikely that inflammation will remain in the endometrium for a long time. However, if the acute inflammation is not treated thoroughly or there is often an infection source, it may recur. Chronic endometritis is the most common cause of miscarriage.

Treatments for endometritis include:

1. General treatment

1. The diet should consist of liquid or semi-liquid foods that are easily digestible and contain high calories, high protein, and multiple vitamins. For those who cannot eat, they should receive intravenous nutrition and water supplements, and pay attention to correcting electrolyte imbalance and acidosis.

2. Patients with acute endometritis should rest in bed, preferably in a semi-recumbent position, to facilitate the limitation of inflammation and drainage of uterine secretions.

3. Apply hot compress to the lower abdomen to promote the absorption of inflammation and relieve pain.

4. Keep bowel movements smooth to reduce pelvic congestion and facilitate the excretion of toxins.

5. Physical cooling when fever is high.

6. Excessive gynecological examinations should be avoided to prevent the spread of inflammation.

2. Drug treatment

1. Intrauterine drug administration: For married patients, intrauterine drug administration can be used. Before the operation, the size and position of the uterus should be determined by bimanual examination. After the vulva and vagina are disinfected and the depth of the uterine cavity is detected, the sterilized catheter is inserted into the uterine cavity from the cervical os, with a depth less than 0.5 cm. The selected drug is slowly injected into the uterine cavity through the catheter. After all the drug liquid has entered the uterine cavity, the catheter is pulled out, and the patient should lie flat or raise his hips for 1 to 2 hours. This method is repeated once a day and is discontinued during menstruation. Since this method can make the drug act directly on the lesion, it is often effective.

2. Antibiotic treatment and cleaning of the uterine cavity: If endometritis occurs after delivery or abortion, if there is suspected placental tissue residue, it should be removed immediately while using antibiotics. When the antibiotics reach a certain dose and the inflammation is under control, curettage can be performed to prevent the spread of inflammation. If there is active uterine bleeding, the uterine cavity can be cleaned with the use of large amounts of antibiotics.

The above is an introduction to what endometrial congestion is. I believe that after reading the above introduction, you already know what endometrial congestion is. In fact, endometrial congestion is largely caused by endometritis. Therefore, once endometrial congestion is discovered, it is best to find out the cause in time and treat it symptomatically.
