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 you get pregnant with endometritis?

When suffering from endometritis, it is not recommended to become pregnant during this time. It is better to wait until the endometritis is cured before trying to conceive. This is because endometritis can impact pregnancy. During the inflammation, a large number of white blood cells and macrophages appear on the surface of the endometrium, which can affect the vitality of sperm, leading to decreased sperm activity and even dead sperm, thus reducing the chances of pregnancy. Additionally, during endometritis, women may also develop anti-sperm antibodies, which hinder the implantation of the fertilized egg, preventing normal fertility. Therefore, it is advised for women to wait until after the endometritis is cured before trying to conceive.

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.

Does endometritis belong to the pelvic cavity?

Endometritis is an inflammation that occurs in the endometrium, inside the uterine cavity. The uterus is an internal organ located in the pelvic cavity. Thus, this inflammation occurs within the pelvis. If a patient is diagnosed with endometritis, it is advised that they undergo anti-inflammatory treatment. Moreover, if there is a suspicion of an issue with the endometrium, it is recommended that such patients first undergo a type-B ultrasonic examination. If inflammatory symptoms are indeed present, consider performing a segmented diagnostic curettage of the endometrium. If an issue is identified, then anti-inflammatory treatment might be necessary.

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.

How long does endometritis bleed?

Women experience bleeding due to inflammation of the endometrium, mainly when inflammation occurs, the endometrium becomes congested, edematous, more fragile, and less stable. There is infiltration of inflammatory cells in the endometrium, which may also lead to abnormalities in coagulation function. The extent of lesions varies from person to person, leading to differences in the duration and amount of bleeding. For example, some women may only experience changes in the amount of menstruation, such as increased menstrual flow or prolonged periods lasting over eight days, typically without any bleeding. Others may experience irregular vaginal bleeding, where there is constant, light spotting.
