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.)

Symptoms of endometritis discharge

When women develop endometritis, the severity of the condition varies depending on the type of bacteria involved, and the characteristics of vaginal discharge also differ. For example, some women may experience mild symptoms, primarily reflected in an increased amount of discharge. Others might have discharge mixed with blood streaks, and some women could have purulent discharge accompanied by an unpleasant odor. If the condition continues to progress, the discharge can become foul-smelling, increase in quantity, and show a significant infiltration of white blood cells. Some women may develop pus accumulation in the uterine cavity, resulting in the presence of purulent discharge.

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.

Should you have sexual intercourse during endometritis?

During periods of endometritis or while treating endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease, it is not permissible to engage in sexual activity. The stimulation from sexual activity can exacerbate the inflammation or cause it to spread, increasing the likelihood of chronic pelvic pain, worsening inflammation, causing fever, or other severe consequences. Therefore, it is crucial to not only discover and treat these conditions promptly but also to avoid fatigue and sexual activity during treatment. Generally, this is only temporary, and it is important to exercise self-control.

What is the cause of endometritis?

Endometritis is a common gynecological disease in clinical practice. There are many causes of endometritis, which can lead to inflammatory changes in the endometrial structure. Bacteria can ascend from the vagina and cervix, descend from the fallopian tubes, or reach the endometrium through the lymphatic system, causing the disease. For example, childbirth and the weakened immune response afterward can lead to pathogen invasion if the placenta and membranes are retained. The placental separation surface can be infected by bacteria causing inflammation of the endometrium. Additionally, the placement or removal of an intrauterine device, abortion procedures, dilation and curettage, and medication-induced abortion can also facilitate the invasion of pathogens and trigger endometrial inflammation.
