Endometritis is not recommended to be treated with moxibustion, as moxibustion is not effective for this condition. Generally, if there is pelvic inflammation or vaginal inflammation, it is better to use topical medications for targeted treatment. Clinically, endometritis manifests as abdominal pain during menstruation, accompanied by an abnormal odor. Treatment typically involves oral medications or intravenous anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment. Therefore, for patients with endometritis, it is generally advisable to use medication for symptomatic treatment. The diagnosis of endometritis is usually confirmed through curettage, which can reveal signs of inflammation, or gynecologically through consultation and symptoms. Thus, for patients with endometritis, it is recommended to use medications for anti-inflammatory purposes and symptomatic treatment. Moxibustion can still be useful for regulating some menstrual issues.

Can medication be inserted for endometritis?

Endometritis can also be treated through rectal administration of drugs, and local treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can also promote blood circulation, reduce stasis, reduce inflammation, and help absorb inflammation. However, if the symptoms of endometritis are severe and the condition is in an acute state of inflammation, it is necessary to consider treatment with Western medicine, which can be used in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine. Additionally, a bacterial examination should be conducted, including bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing, to select sensitive drugs for treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activities should be avoided, and rest is advised to prevent fatigue in the near term. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can endometritis be treated with injections?

Endometritis, as the name suggests, is the inflammation of the endometrium caused by pathogens, so it is necessary to use sensitive antibiotics for treatment. Endometritis generally manifests as purulent vaginal discharge, or an increase in purulent bloody discharge, tenderness in the uterine body, accompanied by increased temperature or slight fever. For endometritis, choosing a vaginal secretion smear or bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, and using the corresponding sensitive antibiotics for infusion therapy, results in better outcomes, to avoid the progression to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

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.

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.

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.
