Endometritis Treatment In Brooklyn NYC –

Photo #1

Description

An infection in the lining of your uterus is called endometritis or myometrium. Pain is not the only symptom, as any infection weakens you while your body fights it off. If you experience any unusual symptoms, from excessive bleeding to a fever, give yourself better odds of beating the infection before it leads to potentially life-threatening consequences. Visit a top-rated gynecologist in Brooklyn at Century Medical and Dental Center. Call today for a consultation, a diagnosis and a cure.

Although the words sound similar, endometritis and endometriosis represent different conditions. The similarity in the words comes from both conditions affecting the lining of your uterus. Endometriosis refers to the lining growing too much or outside the uterus, endometritis refers to an inflammation of the lining. This condition is also called myometrium.

Inflammation is the body’s way of fighting an infection. Your immune system rushes extra fluid and blood, along with white blood cells, to the site of infection to try to fight off the enemy. That’s what causes the inflammation.

Your uterus rarely gets infected because the cervix acts as a gatekeeper. It can close and use mucus to repel bacteria. But surgery, childbirth or other conditions can open the cervix, sometimes letting bacteria through to the uterus.

Causes of Endometritis

While surgery and childbirth sometimes precipitate a bacterial infection, other conditions increase the risk of infection as well. Infections aren’t always preventable, but they’re more likely from:

• A miscarriage
• An infection after childbirth
• A sexually transmitted infection, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea
• A Caesarean delivery, especially in an emergency situation
• Pelvic procedures, such as an endometrial biopsy, dilation and curettage (D&C), an intrauterine device (IUD) insertion or a hysteroscopy, which uses a small telescope to look for abnormalities in your uterus
• Pelvic inflammatory disease, which must be treated quickly to prevent a life-threatening infection
• Normal vaginal bacteria traveling past the cervix and into your uterus, causing inflammation

Endometritis Symptoms

Some of your symptoms mimic other medical conditions, so consult an experienced gynecologist in Brooklyn. The gynecological staff at Century Medical and Dental Center cooperate with other specialists in this multi-disciplinary clinic to offer you the best all-around care. So make an appointment to see your doctor as soon as possible if you experience:

• Vaginal bleeding or unusual discharge not associated with your normal menstruation
• Abdominal or pelvic pain
• A fever and chills
• Uncomfortable bowel movements or constipation
• Extreme fatigue
• Lower abdominal swelling
• A general feeling of sickness or malaise

If you’re dealing with chlamydia, you may not see normal symptoms. Postpartum endometritis often results in high fevers that must be treated quickly.
