Endometritis does not have early or late stages. Some people may have more severe inflammation, with clearer signs of infection, which can even lead to elevated body temperature and mild ascites with severe surrounding circumstances. In such cases, etiological examinations are necessary, and treatment should be chosen based on specific etiological findings, including bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Since endometritis is not cancer, there’s no such thing as a late stage—the condition may present as mild, severe, or chronic inflammation. Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbal treatments might be required. Therefore, if inflammation is present, there is no need to overly worry. It is important to begin treatment as soon as possible based on the specific circumstances, avoid sexual activities and excessive fatigue in the near term.

Endometritis menstrual symptoms

Endometritis occurring during menstruation can result in increased menstrual flow and extended periods. The most common clinical symptoms of endometritis include lower abdominal pain and increased vaginal discharge. The abdominal pain is often persistent and worsens with activity or after intercourse. In severe cases, it may also be accompanied by fever, chills, headache, loss of appetite, and fatigue. If accompanied by peritonitis, symptoms related to the digestive system such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension, and diarrhea may occur. If there is an associated urinary tract infection, symptoms can include urinary urgency, frequency, and pain. If symptoms of bladder irritation occur, there may be difficulty in urination and frequent urination, and the bladder muscle may also have pain. If a mass is located behind the uterus, it can cause rectal irritation symptoms, leading to diarrhea, a sense of urgency to defecate, and difficulty in urination.

How is endometritis diagnosed?

When suspecting endometritis in women, the first step is to inquire about the medical history. Most women exhibit abnormalities in their menstrual cycle, and some only show changes in the amount of menstruation. Ultrasound examination of the reproductive system shows no organic lesions, and the hormone panel is normal. During a gynecological examination, tenderness in the uterine body may be observed. Sometimes, ultrasound examination suggests that the endometrium is thin and uneven. Performing a hysteroscopy, localized hyperemia and edema of the endometrium can be seen, and diagnostic curettage plays a certain role in diagnosis.

Can endometritis eat beef?

Beef is a very nutritious food, originally a high-protein diet that anyone without allergic symptoms can consume. However, one should not have a biased diet and avoid eating foods that are too cold. Endometritis and the consumption of beef are unrelated. Endometritis primarily requires examination and treatment. It is important to avoid overexertion and maintain a regular lifestyle. During treatment, one should abstain from sexual activity, as it can lead to decreased immunity and worsened inflammation, but this has nothing to do with eating beef.

How to do IVF with endometritis

Patients with endometritis who are considering IVF must first treat the endometritis. As we all know, the endometrium is the soil for embryo development. If the inflammation is severe, even with IVF, the transferred blastocysts are likely to fail to implant. Endometritis can significantly affect the implantation of the fertilized egg, and after implantation, it may lead to increased risks of miscarriage, placenta previa, and a higher incidence of adhesive placenta. Therefore, if IVF is to be performed, it is imperative to treat the inflammation of the endometritis. Once the treatment is successful, the embryo will not be affected during IVF.

Can you get pregnant with endometritis?

Under normal circumstances, it is possible to become pregnant when suffering from inflammation of the endometrium. However, if an infection occurs due to the inflammation of the endometrium, it may affect the implantation of the fertilized egg. Therefore, during normal pregnancy, implantation might lead to poor embryonic development or cause a miscarriage. Therefore, once endometritis is confirmed, it is necessary to treat it promptly. Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be administered systematically before attempting to conceive normally. During pregnancy, it is also vital to closely monitor the condition of the endometrium. If continuous thickening of the endometrium occurs, it is crucial to take oral medication promptly to preserve the pregnancy and provide symptomatic treatment. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
