Endometritis is caused when bacteria opportunistically enter the uterus due to a decrease in a woman's immunity, leading to congestion and edema of the endometrial lining. During endometritis, it is important to pay attention to diet. Consuming food that causes flare-ups, such as seafood like salmon, hairtail, shrimp, and others, can have side effects. These foods intensify internal damp-heat and after consumption, may result in an increase in vaginal discharge and itching of the vulva. Additionally, it is also advisable to avoid irritant foods such as tobacco and alcohol, as their long-term presence in the body is not conducive to disease recovery. It is best to choose fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as protein-rich foods like eggs, lean meats, and dairy, all of which are beneficial for the recovery from endometritis.

Endometritis

Endometritis refers to the inflammatory changes in the uterine lining caused by various reasons. Common clinical causes include infections resulting from miscarriage or childbirth, as well as various intrauterine procedures, where bacteria opportunistically enter the uterus through the vagina. Clinically, this condition is characterized by congestion and edema of the endometrium, and in severe cases, it may lead to suppuration. Patients may experience fever, abdominal pain, and an increase in vaginal discharge, which is often purulent or hemorrhagic-purulent in nature. Clinically, antibiotics are primarily used for treatment. It is recommended that women develop good personal hygiene habits in daily life, maintain genital cleanliness, engage in moderate exercise, and enhance the body's resistance.

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.

Is endometritis prone to recurrence?

Endometritis is prone to recurrence. The occurrence of endometritis is mainly due to a decrease in women's resistance, allowing some bacteria to ascend from the reproductive tract and cause inflammation in the uterine cavity. If the inflammation is not completely cured during the acute phase, or if it turns into chronic cervicitis, and local hygiene is not maintained, along with frequent presence of infection sources, it can easily cause repeated occurrences. It is crucial to actively treat endometritis, especially during the acute phase, where sufficient medication must be administered to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. In cases of chronic endometritis, emphasis should be placed on treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.

Where to apply moxibustion for endometritis?

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 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.
