Chronic endometritis (CE) is a persistent inflammation of the inner lining of the uterine cavity caused by bacteria such as Enterococcus, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Enterobacteriaceae. A majority of CE produces no signs or sometimes mild symptoms, and the prevalence rate of CE is 10-15%. Several studies have shown that it is a condition frequently associated with repeated unexplained implantation failure at in vitro fertilization, recurrent miscarriage, as well as preterm labor. In this study, we reviewed how chronic endometritis plays an important role in the development of infertility. Also, we discuss the importance of hysteroscopic procedures in the diagnosis of chronic endometritis.
Endometrial polyposis is a condition that affects the lining of the endometrium or the uterus and it is seen in 1-17% of women in their reproductive years. The symptoms are often uterine bleeding which can occur as menorrhagia and the polyps can be sessile or pedunculated. This pathology can also arise in women who are in the post-menopausal phase and the exact pathogenesis of the pathology is not known but there are theories that shed light on how this may occur. We conducted a study in which we took 70 surveyed women with endometrial polyps which were complicated by uterine bleeding to determine their morphological types and identify the relationship between the types of polyps and the frequency of uterine bleeding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
