Upon completion of treatment for chronic endometritis (d&c and antibiotic txt) will my fertility improve?


I have been trying to get pregnant for the past nine months and have had two previous miscarriages over the past year.
----------

Mine did. I had severe scarring in the fallopian tubes that led to them adhesing to my uterus. I was a MESS! Once they went in and cleaned it all up and got most of the scarring out, I was fertile as could be. I am on my second pregnancy now...

Good luck to you. I hope your surgery is successful!  (+ info)

what is the pathophysiology of endometritis?how does it develops in the body?


Endometritis is infection of the endometrium or decidua, with extension into the myometrium and parametrial tissues. Endometritis usually results from an ascending infection from the lower genital tract. From a pathologic perspective, endometritis can be classified as acute versus chronic. Acute endometritis is characterized by the presence of neutrophils within the endometrial glands. Chronic endometritis is characterized by the presence of plasma cells and lymphocytes within the endometrial stroma.

In the nonobstetric population, PID and invasive gynecologic procedures are the most common precursors to acute endometritis. In the obstetric population, postpartum infection is the most common predecessor. Chronic endometritis in the obstetric population is usually associated with retained products of conception after delivery or elective abortion. In the nonobstetric population, chronic endometritis has been seen with infections, such as chlamydia, tuberculosis, and bacterial vaginosis, and the presence of an intrauterine device.  (+ info)

do any woman have or know anything bout polysistic ovaries and or endometritis???


my name is amanda and im 22 with no kids and have both polysistic ovaries and endometritis...its really getting me down cause i have my period nearly all the time and i have already had 2 operations on it in the past....and its so painful..
----------

Hi Amanda,

I have both PCOS and endometriosis. My periods started early and have always been excruciating and very irregular. Sometimes i would bleed for a few months straight and then sometimes I would have no period for many months. It was a constant roller coaster ride and the doctors were not really very helpful either. I've had many surgeries (a few laporoscopies and dnc's) and at 24 a doctor suggested a hysterectomy but none of the doctors took my symptoms seriously.

I chose not to have the hysterectomy because I wanted to have children. Because my symptoms went without proper treatment for so long, at 36 I have recently been diagnosed with endometrial cancer and most likely have to have a hysterectomy after all and I have not had children yet. My doctor has put me on metformin for the PCOS and progestin for the estrogen increase but it is very likely that I may not have developed cancer had the PCOS been properly treated years earlier. With PCOS there is usually an increase in weight because of decreased insulin sensitivity and the PCOS make it very difficult to lose weight, ironically that is the best treatment for it. I have put on weight in the past 5 years and for the past year I have eaten very healthy and do intense 1 - 1.5 hr workouts 5 -6 days / week and the weight is coming off very slowly. That is what the metformin helps with. The irregular periods need to be treated because that effects estrogen levels that can have very negative effects like cancer.

I am not trying to scare you, I only want to stress how important it is to make sure YOU make the doctors treat your conditions properly. I am now receiving information that had I received it earlier would have made all the difference. I was made to feel in the past that I would just have to learn to live with it and I listened because we are taught to trust the doctors.

I now have a doctor that is fabulous and I truly wish that I had found him sooner. I don't know where you live but he is in Vancouver and his name is Dr. Rosengarten. He has been such a blessing.

I wish you the best my dear. And this can be treated don't just learn to live with it.  (+ info)

endometritis and nuva ring?


what are the chances using the nuva ring form of birth control can cause endometritis? I've been on the ring for 3 months and often have pain similar to pre-menstrual cramps, that i have never had prior to starting the ring.
----------

While it may take a few months for your body to adjust to the hormones in the nuva ring, if you are experiencing anything unusual, talk to your ob/gyn to put your mind at ease. The nuva ring may not be for you and your doc may want to try you on a different form of birth control.  (+ info)

STDS and endometritis?


My cousin was diagnosed with endometritis yesterday. I learned that it can be caused from an STD. I was wondering since me and her are always around each other if i could get it. Can you get any type of std from drinking after someone or sharing a cigarette?

I COPIED AND PASTED THIS INFO
Endometritis is an inflammation and/or irritation of the endometrium (lining of the uterus). (See also pelvic inflammatory disease.)

Causes, incidence, and risk factors:


The usual cause of endometritis is infection. This includes chlamydial or gonococcal endometritis, frequently occurring among patients with salpingitis; tuberculous endometritis; purulent endometritis; and endometritis following surgery or other gynecological procedures that require insertion of medical instruments.

Endometritis may also occur following childbirth; abortion (therapeutic, elective, or spontaneous -- all of which can lead to septic abortion), or intrauterine device (IUD) insertion. Other risk factors may include a history of acute salpingitis, acute cervicitis, and other pelvic infections, including many of the sexually transmitted diseases.  (+ info)

Endometritis infection?


After I had an abortion, I took antibiotics to prevent an infection. A couple weeks later I went swimming in a lake and got endometritis (infection of the uterine wall). I felt the symptoms and got treated and cured quickly. Could this cause complications when trying to get pregnant in the future?
----------

It shouldn't interfere with getting pregnant unless, there was scar tissue from the infection but that can be easily remedied.  (+ info)

how is an Endometritis surgery done?


I had it done back in the 1990's and it's a simple operation. Three small cuts are made and one small cut at the bellybutton. I do not know what the doctor did during the surgery, but recover was a snap and my scars are so small and so far down below the panty line, they can't be seen. I'm glad I had it done.  (+ info)
