Metroendometritis

Inflammation of the muscular layer of the uterus and its mucous membrane (Fig.). Metroendometritis occurs when various pathogens (streptococci, staphylococci, tuberculosis bacilli, gonococci, etc.) enter the uterus.

Most often, this is facilitated by abortions (especially out-of-hospital), various inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system and neighboring organs, as well as violations of hygiene rules during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The disease is characterized by the appearance of nagging pain in the lower abdomen, leucorrhoea, sometimes bloody and even bloody discharge. Body temperature rises; general malaise is felt; the menstrual cycle is disrupted (heavy, prolonged periods).

Complications are possible: spread of the inflammatory process to neighboring organs, during pregnancy - detachment of the baby's place, miscarriage. If these signs appear, you should consult a doctor and strictly follow his recommendations. To prevent metroendometritis, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor’s advice regarding the hygiene regime after an abortion, during pregnancy and the postpartum period, as well as observe the rules of personal hygiene.



Metroendometritis is an inflammatory disease of the uterus that can occur in women of any age. It is associated with an infection that enters the uterus through the blood or genital tract.

The causes of metroendometritis can be different, for example, sexually transmitted infections, abortions, uterine surgeries, and certain medications. Symptoms of metroendometritis include abdominal pain, bloody vaginal discharge, fever and general malaise.

Treatment of metroendometritis depends on the cause of the disease and the severity of its course. Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy are usually prescribed. If metroendometritis is not treated properly, it can lead to serious complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, or even death.

To prevent metroendometritis, it is necessary to observe the rules of personal hygiene, avoid casual sex and undergo regular medical examinations. It is also important to monitor your health and consult a doctor if any symptoms of the disease appear.



The metroendometrium is the space between the uterine wall and the lining of the uterus. Normally, this area contains some mucous contents, which provide hydration and prevent friction as the cervix closes and enters the vagina during ovulation.

The metroendometrium plays an important role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle. During menstruation, when the endometrium becomes thin and its blood supply decreases, the metroendometrium remains intact.

Inflammation of the metroendometrium (metroendometritis) can occur as a consequence of various infectious diseases of the pelvic organs, traumatic injuries, and surgical interventions.

The most important cause of metroendometritis is an infectious process caused by staphylococcal, streptococcal or other microflora. It is also possible that an infectious process caused by non-bacterial infections and fungal infections in the metroendometrium may occur.

Despite the fact that metroendometrium is characterized by all of the above reasons, the main factors in the development of metroendometrium are the following:

- Changes in hormonal levels necessary for the normal functioning of the uterine mucosa (endometrium). This may be a disruption of the hormones that regulate female functions. - Impaired immune system associated with long-term and severe infectious diseases. Viruses can also be one of the causes of metroendometrial inflammation.
