When suffering from endometritis, one cannot undergo a uterine scraping surgery at the same time. If a patient with endometritis needs uterine scraping surgery, it is essential to use sensitive anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment for more than 3 days before the surgery. The surgery can proceed after the endometritis is controlled. During the uterine scraping, the entire endometrium is completely removed, and the uterine cavity has a wound surface. If the endometritis is not treated, the inflammation of the endometritis can spread, leading to exacerbated pelvic inflammatory disease.

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.)

Can endometritis patients eat shrimp?

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.

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.

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 have intercourse with endometritis?

If you have endometritis, you should not engage in sexual activity, as it can exacerbate the inflammation, cause it to spread, lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, and even result in serious complications like sepsis or pelvic abscess. This condition can cause symptoms such as high fever and severe pelvic pain. It is important to treat endometritis promptly and avoid sexual activity for the time being. Rest is crucial and overexertion should be avoided. Bacteriological cultures and drug sensitivity tests can be conducted to choose the most effective medication for treatment.
