DuBois Abscess

Dubois abscess (p. Dubois, 1795–1871) is a purulent inflammation of the uterus, which is caused by a bacterial infection and is usually accompanied by severe pain. This disease was first described by the French gynecologist Etienne Dubois in 1846.

Dubois abscess can be caused by various factors, including genital infections, abortion, childbirth, miscarriage, surgery, and others. Symptoms of this disease may include lower abdominal pain, vaginal discharge, fever, weakness and general deterioration.

Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and surgery are used to treat dubois abscess. Surgery may involve removing the uterus, ovaries, tubes, and other organs that have become infected.

Currently, Du Bois abscess is receiving much attention due to its high prevalence and serious consequences for women's health. Prevention of this disease includes regular examination by a gynecologist and compliance with hygiene rules.

Dubois abscess, pseudocyst - a pathological cystic formation of the ovaries on a stalk. A cyst is an enlarged cavity that is filled with blood or serous fluid. The peritoneum is tightly adjacent to the formation and therefore is practically not displaced by adjacent pelvic organs during palpation and examination. It is usually diagnosed after the appearance of pain in the lower abdomen and the presence of macrohemorrhage. When bleeding from the cyst cavity, hematometra is extremely rare and it is rarely necessary to resort to therapeutic and diagnostic laparoscopy, since it is often of a diagnostic nature. In most cases, surgical treatment is not required: only observation for 3–4 weeks and regular echography are indicated. However, in some cases, due to the high density of the cyst shell, which makes it difficult to diagnose by echography and reaches a maximum during the menometrotonic test, the cyst must be removed (usually under laparotomy). In pregnant women in the absence of bleeding, if the diagnosed pseudocyst does not require surgical intervention, outpatient anti-inflammatory hormonal therapy is indicated starting from the third trimester. If yellow zones suspicious for a decidual reaction are detected, then removal is permissible
