Understanding Endometritis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Endometritis is a condition where the lining of the uterus (endometrium) becomes inflamed. It can occur after a miscarriage, abortion, or childbirth, and is more common in women who have had multiple pregnancies or have a history of pelvic infections.
Symptoms of endometritis may include:
* Heavy bleeding that lasts longer than normal menstrual periods
* Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
* Abdominal cramping
* Fever
* Chills
* Vaginal discharge with a strong odor
If you suspect you have endometritis, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. A healthcare provider can diagnose endometritis by performing a physical examination and ordering imaging tests such as an ultrasound or MRI. Treatment for endometritis usually involves antibiotics to clear up any infections, and may also include hormonal medications to reduce inflammation and promote healing. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the infected tissue.
It is important to note that endometritis can increase the risk of infertility, so it is important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of the condition. With proper treatment, however, many women with endometritis are able to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy.
