Endometritis can be detected through the following methods:

First, gynecological examinations, as most patients with endometritis experience lower abdominal pain. During the gynecological examination, the doctor can detect tenderness in the uterus, and severe patients may exhibit pain upon movement.

Second, undergoing an ultrasound examination, where heterogeneous uterine lining echoes can be found. This condition should be considered as a manifestation of endometritis.

The third method is to perform diagnostic curettage, and then examine the scraped tissue pathologically. If inflammatory cells are found, endometritis can be definitively diagnosed.

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 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.

Causes of endometritis

Endometritis can be divided into tuberculous endometritis and non-tuberculous endometritis, with the latter being more common in clinical settings. Non-tuberculous endometritis is often caused by various pathogenic infections. It commonly occurs during menstruation, after a miscarriage, or during childbirth due to bacterial infections. For instance, inadequate sterilization during surgery, sexual activity during menstruation, and the retention of placenta or membranes after childbirth can all facilitate ascending infections.

Can medication be inserted for endometritis?

Endometritis can also be treated through rectal administration of drugs, and local treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can also promote blood circulation, reduce stasis, reduce inflammation, and help absorb inflammation. However, if the symptoms of endometritis are severe and the condition is in an acute state of inflammation, it is necessary to consider treatment with Western medicine, which can be used in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine. Additionally, a bacterial examination should be conducted, including bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing, to select sensitive drugs for treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activities should be avoided, and rest is advised to prevent fatigue in the near term. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
