What are the treatments for endometritis?

The uterus is very important for a woman, so women need to take good care of their uterus. This is because there are many diseases related to the uterus, among which endometritis is a common disease. Therefore, there are many treatments for endometritis. We must treat it as soon as possible to recover our health as soon as possible.

1. General treatment: Acute endometritis should be treated with bed rest, preferably in a semi-recumbent position, to facilitate the limitation of inflammation and drainage of uterine secretions; hot compresses can be applied to the lower abdomen to promote the absorption of inflammation and relieve pain; bowel movements should be kept open to reduce pelvic congestion and facilitate toxin excretion; excessive gynecological examinations should be avoided to prevent the spread of inflammation; physical cooling can be used for high fever; the diet should consist of liquid or semi-liquid, easily digestible foods that are high in calories, protein, and multiple vitamins. Those who cannot eat should receive intravenous nutrition and water supplements, and pay attention to correcting electrolyte imbalance and acidosis.

2. Uterine dilation, drainage and estrogen therapy For chronic endometritis and senile endometritis, the cervical dilation method can be used in conjunction with treatment to facilitate the drainage of uterine secretions and eliminate the inducement. Elderly patients can also use a small amount of estrogen.

3. Removal of uterine cavity residues and other foreign bodies. Endometritis occurs after delivery or abortion. If placental tissue is suspected to be residual, it should be removed immediately while using antibiotics. However, it is advisable to gently protrude the uterine cavity residues and try not to perform curettage. Curettage can only be performed when the antibiotics reach a certain dose and the inflammation is under control to prevent the spread of inflammation. If there is active uterine bleeding, the uterine cavity can be cleaned with the use of large amounts of antibiotics. For those who have contraceptive devices in their uterus, they should be removed as soon as possible to eliminate the primary lesion and control the spread of inflammation.

4. Intrauterine drug administration: For married patients, intrauterine drug administration can be used. Before the operation, the size and position of the uterus should be determined by bimanual examination. After the vulva and vagina are disinfected and the depth of the uterine cavity is detected, the sterilized catheter is inserted into the uterine cavity from the cervical os, with a depth less than 0.5 cm. The selected medicine is slowly injected into the uterine cavity through the catheter. After all the medicine has entered the uterine cavity, the catheter is removed, and the patient should lie flat or raise his hips for 1 to 2 hours, once a day, and discontinue use during menstruation. Since this method can make the drug act directly on the lesion, it is often effective.

5. Surgical treatment Surgical treatment is suitable for chronic endometritis caused by submucosal fibroids or polyps. At this time, antibiotic treatment alone is often ineffective, so surgical resection can be considered. Uterine disease refers to various lesions occurring in the uterine area, such as inflammation, injury, tumors, and precancerous lesions. It is one of the most common diseases in women. Uterine diseases include endometritis, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, uterine cysts, endometrial cancer and other categories. The pathogenic factors are relatively complex. If the treatment is not timely or improper, lesions may occur, which may lead to life-threatening situations at any time.

The above introduces five common methods of treating endometritis. We women should never procrastinate because we are embarrassed, as this will lead to worsening of the condition. In addition, we still need to pay attention to our daily hygiene.
