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 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.

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 ultrasound detect endometritis?

Endometritis can be detected through an ultrasound, and it's best to inspect within three to seven days after the menstrual cycle has ended. Ultrasound is a tool that assists in diagnosing gynecological diseases, and it can be used to check for endometritis. However, to confirm the diagnosis, other methods such as laboratory tests, vaginal discharge exams, and internal scanning are needed. When treating endometritis, it's crucial to identify any underlying causes. For instance, if there are retained placental fragments after childbirth or a miscarriage, a curettage to remove the remnants is necessary. Furthermore, if the endometritis is caused by an intrauterine device, it should be removed; if caused by uterine polyps, these should be excised.

How long does it take for endometritis to heal?

Endometritis is a common gynecological infection in clinical settings, mainly caused by ascending bacterial infection due to weakened immunity. To determine if there is endometritis, it is necessary to examine the cervical secretions. Additionally, patient's daily symptoms such as abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, and blood-tinged discharge can also help in the diagnosis. Treatment involves the use of appropriate antibiotics, generally curing the condition within one to two weeks. Sexual activities should be suspended during treatment. Furthermore, after completing a course of treatment, a follow-up visit to the hospital is required to check the effectiveness of the medication. (Please follow medical advice when using medication.)
