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.

Does endometritis cause abdominal pain?

When women suffer from endometritis, they often experience abdominal pain. Endometritis is generally caused by the disruption of the protective function of the female reproductive tract during childbirth or uterine cavity operations, leading to the invasion of pathogens into the reproductive tract and resulting in inflammation of the endometrial lining. Clinically, endometritis is characterized by congestive necrosis of the endometrial lining, with a large amount of purulent secretions in the vagina accompanied by an odor. Therefore, endometritis often involves toe bone pain under these circumstances, and it is important to promptly visit a hospital for examination and treatment.

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.

Why is enema used for endometritis?

Endometritis can be treated with enemas. The enema uses traditional Chinese medicine and is administered rectally, which is the closest access point to the uterus. Administering the enema in this area allows the medicine to be absorbed quickly and reach the uterus effectively. Therefore, the treatment of endometritis is quite effective with this method. Additionally, the Chinese herbal medicine used in the enema is warm, which can locally apply heat to the uterus, promote blood circulation in the pelvic cavity, and effectively treat inflammation. Thus, if one has endometritis, using a traditional Chinese medicine enema is entirely feasible.

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.

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.
