Is endometritis serious?

There are many types of gynecological diseases, and endometritis is one of them. Is endometritis serious? If endometritis is not treated, it may cause female infertility, so female friends must seek treatment as soon as they find out that they are sick. The longer the delay, the more difficult the treatment will be. Let’s learn about the symptoms of endometritis.

1. Is endometritis serious?

Endometritis is a gynecological disease with a high incidence rate. It does not have particularly obvious symptoms in the early stages, but if not treated in time, it can cause great harm to the female body.

Endometritis can cause female infertility. If the patient does not receive timely treatment and suffers from long-term effects of inflammation, sperm entering the uterine cavity is very likely to be phagocytosed by white blood cells. Even if they are not phagocytosed by white blood cells, they are easily affected by toxins. Therefore, the motility and number of sperm will be greatly reduced, and the chance of combining with the egg will be reduced, which may lead to female infertility.

Women with endometritis often have more vaginal secretions due to the condition, and they also feel pain in the waist and lower abdomen, especially the waist, which often feels sore and swollen. In severe cases, it can affect their sex life and cause rifts in the relationship between the couple.

Endometritis can easily cause women to sweat, have a fever, and feel weak. If they are already seriously affected, they may experience irregular menstruation, which will make the whole person feel bad and affect their life and work. Endometritis can also affect the implantation of the fertilized egg, so even pregnant women are very likely to have miscarriage.

2. Symptoms of endometritis

After fertilization, the fertilized egg will implant in the endometrium. If there is inflammation in the endometrium, it will obviously affect the implantation of the fertilized egg, which may easily cause female infertility or miscarriage. Therefore, endometritis has a relatively large impact on women's fertility. Therefore, women should understand the symptoms of endometritis and prevent the occurrence of the disease.

Endometritis can cause dysmenorrhea in women, but it is more common in women who have not given birth. The dysmenorrhea caused by endometritis is not very severe, which may be related to excessive thickening of the endometrium. In addition to dysmenorrhea, endometritis can also easily cause excessive menstruation in women. Patients with endometritis do not experience any changes in their menstrual cycles, but they will find that their menstrual volume often increases exponentially compared to before, and their bleeding duration is also significantly prolonged. A small number of patients may develop anemia due to heavy bleeding, and there are very rare cases of irregular bleeding.

Approximately 30-40% of patients experience pelvic pain due to endometritis. During menstruation, patients will feel pain in the lower abdomen, accompanied by soreness in the lumbar region. In addition, increased vaginal discharge is also a symptom of endometritis. The vaginal discharge is thin, watery, and light yellow in color, and bloody vaginal discharge can occasionally be seen.
