How is uterine inflammation treated?

Uterine inflammation adversely affects women’s reproductive and overall physical health. It is also a relatively common condition, and timely medical evaluation at a hospital is essential.

How Is Uterine Inflammation Treated?

Treatment options for uterine inflammation include cervical dilation with drainage and estrogen therapy. For patients with chronic endometritis or atrophic (senile) endometritis, cervical dilation may be performed to facilitate drainage of intrauterine secretions and eliminate inflammatory exudates. This approach also helps remove retained intrauterine material or foreign bodies. In cases of endometritis following childbirth or abortion—particularly when placental tissue remains—antibiotic therapy is indicated.

Retained tissue must be promptly removed. Gentle manual evacuation of intrauterine debris is preferred over curettage whenever possible. Curettage may be performed once adequate antibiotic dosing has achieved initial control of the infection, thereby minimizing the risk of inflammation progression or dissemination.

When active bleeding occurs in the uterus, high-dose antibiotics should be administered concurrently with thorough uterine cavity cleansing. If an intrauterine device (IUD) is present, it should be removed as soon as possible to address the underlying cause and more effectively suppress inflammation. Oral gynecological medications—such as Fuyankang Granules or Xiaoyao Pills—may be prescribed for patients with uterine inflammation and have demonstrated favorable therapeutic efficacy. Additionally, oral or intravenous anti-inflammatory antibiotics can help alleviate symptoms and prevent disease progression. We hope this article has been helpful.
