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.)

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.

What should I do if endometritis keeps recurring?

Generally, endometritis is a common gynecological inflammatory disease. Treatment of inflammation typically requires a lengthy recovery process, and in some cases, chronic inflammation of the endometrium may occur due to long-term bacterial infections. Once endometritis is diagnosed, it is advised to pursue active treatment, usually involving systemic antibiotics to control the infection, combined with local treatment. Local treatment includes cleaning the vulva and using vaginal suppositories, and these combined treatments often yield noticeable results.

Can you get pregnant with endometritis?

When suffering from endometritis, it is not recommended to become pregnant during this time. It is better to wait until the endometritis is cured before trying to conceive. This is because endometritis can impact pregnancy. During the inflammation, a large number of white blood cells and macrophages appear on the surface of the endometrium, which can affect the vitality of sperm, leading to decreased sperm activity and even dead sperm, thus reducing the chances of pregnancy. Additionally, during endometritis, women may also develop anti-sperm antibodies, which hinder the implantation of the fertilized egg, preventing normal fertility. Therefore, it is advised for women to wait until after the endometritis is cured before trying to conceive.

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.

Is it easy to get pregnant with endometritis?

If it is confirmed that there is localized inflammation of the endometrium, under normal circumstances, it will still have some impact on pregnancy. After confirming endometritis, it is necessary to actively conduct examinations and symptomatic treatment. If it causes changes in the menstrual cycle, or persistent lower abdominal pain, accompanied by an increase in vaginal secretions, it is necessary to timely use broad-spectrum antibiotics for symptomatic treatment. It is also necessary to use some local suppositories inside the vagina for combined treatment to alleviate the symptoms effectively. Generally, it is better to start actively preparing for pregnancy after the recovery from endometritis.
