Endometritis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the endometrium, which is the lining of the uterus. It can be caused by a bacterial infection or may occur after a procedure such as a miscarriage, abortion, or childbirth.
Symptoms of endometritis may include pelvic pain, fever, chills, abnormal vaginal discharge, and bleeding after sex. The condition may lead to complications such as infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and increased risk of preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies.
Diagnosis of endometritis may involve a physical exam, pelvic exam, blood tests, and imaging studies. A sample of the vaginal discharge may be taken for laboratory analysis to determine the type of bacteria causing the infection.
Treatment of endometritis typically involves antibiotics to treat the bacterial infection. Pain relievers may also be prescribed to manage the pelvic pain. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary for intravenous antibiotics and close monitoring.
Prevention of endometritis involves taking steps to reduce the risk of infection during childbirth or any medical procedures involving the uterus. This includes proper hygiene, handwashing, and use of sterile equipment during procedures. Women should also be aware of the signs and symptoms of endometritis and seek prompt medical attention if they occur.
