Overview

This section provides a short and straight to the point overview of the disease or symptom. The first sentence of the overview must contain the name of the disease.

Causes

Postpartum endometritis:
Postpartum endometritis is caused by bacteria ascending from the lower genital tract into the cervix during labor. These bacterias that are the vaginal microflora include:[1]

Chronic endometritis:
Common cause of chronic endometritis (CE) is an infection with microorganisms, including:[2][3][4]

Acute endometritis:
Acute endometritis may be caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea.[5]

Risk factors associated with endometritis are

Diagnosis

Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the diagnosis of Endometritis:

Abbreviations: BP: Blood pressure; RR=Respiratory rate; HR=Heart Rate, PROM= Premature rupture of membranes; AFV= Amniotic fluid volume

 
 
 
 
 
 
Pregnant woman comes with Endometritis
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Take complete history
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ask the following questions about menstrual history :

❑ Age of menarche

❑ Last menstrual period

❑ Is the menstrual flow normal? How many pads she has to use in a day?

❑ Is there any foul smell or colour change?

❑ How many days does the menstruation stay?

Contraceptive history for example oral contraceptives, intrauterine device

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ask about previous obstetric history if she was previously pregnant :

❑ Ask about previous pregnancies including miscarriages and terminations.

❑ Length of gestation.

❑ Ask about mode of delivery.

❑ Ask if there was similar complaints during previous pregnancy?

❑ Was there any complications throughout the pregnancy or during delivery such as shoulder dystocia, postpartum haemorrhage ?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Look if the following symptoms are present :

Fever,the grade of the fever is often indicative of the severity of the infection.

Abdominal pain (commonly suprapubic in location)

❑ Foul-smelling and purulent lochia.

Tachycardia

Hypotension.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Perform the physical examination :

Suprapubic and uterine tenderness are often present on abdominal and pelvic exams.

Sepsis, diarrhoea, pain out of proportion in case of endometritis caused by Group A Streptococcus which may develop into toxic shock and necrotizing fasciitis.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Treatment

Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the treatment of [[disease name]] according the the [...] guidelines.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Dos

  • To reduce the risk of endometritis caused by STIs [6]
    • Patient should practise safe sex, such as using condoms.
    • Patient should get routine screening and early diagnosis of suspected STIs, in both herself and partner.
    • She should finish all treatment prescribed for an STI.

Don'ts

  • The content in this section is in bullet points.
