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]
- Alpha hemolytic streptococci
- Corynebacterium
- Diphtheroids
- E.coli
- Enterobacter agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter aerogenes
- Fusobacterium necrophorum
- Klebsiella pneumoniae
- Lactobacillus crispatus, L casei, L jansei
- Mycoplasma genitalia, Mycoplasma hominis
- Nondescript streptococci
- Prevotella bivia, Prevotella melaninogenicus
- Staphylococcus epidermidis
- Ureaplasma urealyticum
Chronic endometritis:
Common cause of chronic endometritis (CE) is an infection with microorganisms, including:[2][3][4]
- Bacteria:
- Yeasts:
- Candida species
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Acute endometritis:
Acute endometritis may be caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea.[5]
Risk factors associated with endometritis are
- Miscarriage or after childbirth, especially following a prolonged labor or a cesarean delivery.
- Medical procedures include:
- Hysteroscopy
- Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD)
- Dilation and curettage (uterine scraping)
