Endometritis is caused when bacteria opportunistically enter the uterus due to a decrease in a woman's immunity, leading to congestion and edema of the endometrial lining. During endometritis, it is important to pay attention to diet. Consuming food that causes flare-ups, such as seafood like salmon, hairtail, shrimp, and others, can have side effects. These foods intensify internal damp-heat and after consumption, may result in an increase in vaginal discharge and itching of the vulva. Additionally, it is also advisable to avoid irritant foods such as tobacco and alcohol, as their long-term presence in the body is not conducive to disease recovery. It is best to choose fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as protein-rich foods like eggs, lean meats, and dairy, all of which are beneficial for the recovery from endometritis.

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.

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.

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 to do IVF with endometritis

Patients with endometritis who are considering IVF must first treat the endometritis. As we all know, the endometrium is the soil for embryo development. If the inflammation is severe, even with IVF, the transferred blastocysts are likely to fail to implant. Endometritis can significantly affect the implantation of the fertilized egg, and after implantation, it may lead to increased risks of miscarriage, placenta previa, and a higher incidence of adhesive placenta. Therefore, if IVF is to be performed, it is imperative to treat the inflammation of the endometritis. Once the treatment is successful, the embryo will not be affected during IVF.
