When suffering from endometritis, it is okay to eat shrimp. Shrimp are very rich in protein and also contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, which are essential nutrients for the body. Eating shrimp during endometritis can enhance the body's resistance and help with the recovery from endometritis.

Additionally, when suffering from endometritis, it is important to pay attention to diet, which should ideally be light, easy to digest, and based on absorption. It is necessary to avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods, as these may exacerbate local congestion in the endometrium and worsen the condition. Therefore, avoid consuming irritating foods, but it is fine to eat an appropriate amount of shrimp.

What should I do if endometritis keeps recurring?

Generally, endometritis is a common gynecological inflammatory disease. Treatment of inflammation typically requires a lengthy recovery process, and in some cases, chronic inflammation of the endometrium may occur due to long-term bacterial infections. Once endometritis is diagnosed, it is advised to pursue active treatment, usually involving systemic antibiotics to control the infection, combined with local treatment. Local treatment includes cleaning the vulva and using vaginal suppositories, and these combined treatments often yield noticeable results.

How long does endometritis bleed?

Women experience bleeding due to inflammation of the endometrium, mainly when inflammation occurs, the endometrium becomes congested, edematous, more fragile, and less stable. There is infiltration of inflammatory cells in the endometrium, which may also lead to abnormalities in coagulation function. The extent of lesions varies from person to person, leading to differences in the duration and amount of bleeding. For example, some women may only experience changes in the amount of menstruation, such as increased menstrual flow or prolonged periods lasting over eight days, typically without any bleeding. Others may experience irregular vaginal bleeding, where there is constant, light spotting.

Can you have sexual intercourse with endometritis?

Endometritis can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis. During acute endometritis, it is necessary to avoid sexual activity, as this not only aggravates the endometritis but also leads to its spread due to sexual stimulation. Additionally, sexual arousal can increase vaginal secretions, likely causing inflammation and symptoms such as lower back pain and soreness, which can affect a woman's mood and decrease her libido. It is advisable to wait until the inflammation is under control and the body has returned to normal before resuming regular sexual activity.

Can you get pregnant with endometritis?

When suffering from endometritis, it is not recommended to become pregnant during this time. It is better to wait until the endometritis is cured before trying to conceive. This is because endometritis can impact pregnancy. During the inflammation, a large number of white blood cells and macrophages appear on the surface of the endometrium, which can affect the vitality of sperm, leading to decreased sperm activity and even dead sperm, thus reducing the chances of pregnancy. Additionally, during endometritis, women may also develop anti-sperm antibodies, which hinder the implantation of the fertilized egg, preventing normal fertility. Therefore, it is advised for women to wait until after the endometritis is cured before trying to conceive.

Does endometritis require curettage?

Endometritis does not routinely require curettage because performing curettage during an active infection can spread the inflammation, which is not conducive to the treatment of endometritis. However, if there is a suspicion of endometritis combined with endometrial tumors, it is necessary to perform diagnostic curettage after three days of anti-inflammatory treatment to obtain endometrial tissue for pathological biopsy for a definitive diagnosis. Additionally, if the treatment for endometritis is not effective, it may also be necessary to scrape a small amount of endometrial tissue for bacterial culture to confirm the diagnosis, guiding the selection of antibiotic treatment.
