The inner surface of the uterus regularlyis renewed, however, and it is susceptible to inflammatory processes, so women's health is very fragile and one needs to notice the slightest unpleasant sensations. It is with the inner surface of the uterus that the disease is associated, which you can read about in this article, meaning chronic endometritis.
Usually with this disease onlyendometrium, the inner layer of the cells of the uterus, but sometimes the infection also penetrates into the middle, muscle layer or even affects the connective tissue envelope of the uterus. Chronic endometritis is classified into a related and unrelated to pregnancy variety. If the condition is not associated with pregnancy, it is called inflammation of the pelvic organs, as it spreads to other female genital organs: the ovaries, the fallopian tubes. Sometimes even the peritonitis of the lower floor develops, and this is a direct threat to life.
Symptoms of chronic endometritis includenot only fever, but also discharge with a bad smell from the vagina, tenderness during sex, and just below the abdomen, irregular bleeding not associated with menstruation. Exacerbations can be very dangerous. If you suddenly have a fever and take a value of 38 degrees against a painful condition in the lower abdomen or pelvic area, immediately call an ambulance, this is very serious.
Most often, chronic endometritis is causedcausative agents of infections that are sexually transmitted. This is in most cases those microorganisms that cause chlamydia and gonorrhea. It is also possible to enter other pathogens when installing an intrauterine device, miscarriage, abortion, or childbirth. In addition, you run the risk of taking a sample of endometrial tissue without meeting the necessary hygiene requirements.
In the risk group, women younger than 25 who havemany sexual partners and use non-barrier means of protection. If there was a history of sexually transmitted diseases, the likelihood of getting an endometritis is extremely high. Also at risk are women who are very active in using the shower for hygienic procedures and violate the natural balance of the vagina. Therefore, you need to know the measure even in hygiene.
For diagnosis, urine samples and smears are taken from theof the vagina. Also, ultrasound is used, which allows you to assess the magnitude of inflammatory processes. Sometimes a biopsy is required in order for the doctor to be sure of the correctness of the conclusion.
How to treat chronic endometritis? When the diagnosis is made accurately, the doctor prescribes antibiotics, as a rule, this is the taking of drugs at home in the form of tablets. Only in cases of exacerbation and urgent conditions the patient will be taken to the hospital, where antibiotics will be administered intravenously. Even severe conditions are well treated within forty-eight to seventy-two hours at the time of initiation of therapy. However, it is not recommended to try to heal on your own, because a wrongly selected treatment regimen will make the pathogens resistant to the antibiotic, and the doctor to whom you contact will find it very difficult to choose an effective remedy. It is recommended to drink more liquid during treatment. If in your case chronic endometritis is caused by gonococci or chlamydia, all your partners should be treated, since for men "bad" infections, although not so dangerous, are still fraught with infertility.
What is the prevention of such a disease aschronic endometritis? Use condoms during sexual intercourse, be very selective when choosing sexual partners, refuse hygienic procedures using a direct shower jet, wash out with movements from front to back, choose the best available medical facilities for your pregnancy and delivery. With the slightest suspicion of chlamydia or gonorrhea, take the appropriate tests.
