The modern rhythm of life, the decline of cultural values, careless attitude to one's own health and all other manifestations of urbanization mostly leave their imprint on the female reproductive system. Nowadays, a woman is more prone to various diseases than ever before, and, in particular, the symptoms of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the uterus are quite common.
To begin with, consider the factors that contribute to the appearance of endometritis :
- So, the first thing you can do without an infection. In its etiology, the disease can be specific (caused by an infection that is sexually transmitted) and nonspecific (the inflammatory process is promoted by representatives of the opportunistic microflora).
- Further, surgical interventions such as abortion, cesarean section, diagnostic curettage have considerable place in importance in the process of endometritis formation.
- Postpartum consequences are the remains of the afterbirth, a common cause of inflammation of the uterus.
- Intrauterine spirals .
- Sexual acts during menstruation.
Symptoms of inflammation of the uterus in women
An important point in the treatment of any disease is timeliness and a correctly diagnosed diagnosis. A qualified specialist will easily identify the inflammation of the uterus by symptoms and prescribe a treatment.
According to the peculiarities of the course, the chronic and acute forms of the disease are distinguished. Let us dwell on the symptoms of inflammation of the uterus of each of them in detail.
What are the symptoms of acute inflammation of the uterus?
Acute inflammation can not go unnoticed, due to pronounced symptoms, which appears already on the 3-4 day after infection in the uterine cavity. In this case, the patient is observed:
- severe pain in the abdomen;
- nausea, vomiting, chills, increased heart rate, general malaise;
- unusual discharge (serous-purulent, sometimes with an admixture of blood) - one of the symptoms of inflammation of the uterus in women;
- when examined, the doctor notes the increased size of the uterus, as well as its softening and soreness;
- a characteristic symptom of inflammation of the uterus that arose after childbirth or cesarean, is a profuse bleeding.
When conducting adequate treatment, which is carried out in a hospital, all symptoms of inflammation of the uterus pass quickly enough. As a rule, full recovery occurs within ten days. Also, proper therapy does not allow the inflammatory process to pass into a chronic form, which is eliminated much more difficultly and has a number of negative consequences.
If, due to certain circumstances, there was no treatment for the disease, then the symptomatology becomes dull after a while. However, this indicates a transition to a subacute or chronic form of the disease. Patients with this disease can complain about:
- violation of the menstrual cycle;
- bleeding outside menstruation;
- pain (although they are dulled, but nevertheless periodically make themselves felt);
- uncharacteristic of a healthy woman's discharge.
It is often found that the inflammation of the uterus is associated not only with the mucosa, but also with the spreading to the myometrium - the muscle layer.
Symptoms of inflammation of the uterus can appear as a consequence of the already existing chronic disease of the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Treatment of inflammatory process
Treatment of inflammation should be prescribed by a doctor after the necessary examination. This is a complex therapy aimed at eliminating the infection (antibiotics), antiallergic, immunostimulating drugs, vitamins and a whole list of other necessary medications. Physiotherapy has proved itself well.
