POSTPARTUM INFECTIONS: ENDOMETRITIS, SALPINGITIS, OOPHORITIS, THROMBOPHLEBITIS, AND PHLEBITIS
Keywords:
Postpartum infections, endometritis, salpingitis, oophoritis, thrombophlebitisAbstract
Postpartum infections remain a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide despite advances in modern obstetric care. Endometritis, salpingitis, oophoritis, thrombophlebitis, and phlebitis are among the most common infectious complications occurring during the puerperal period. These conditions may result in severe consequences, including sepsis, infertility, thromboembolic events, prolonged hospitalization, and increased healthcare costs. This article examines the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, treatment approaches, and preventive measures associated with postpartum infections. Particular attention is given to risk factors contributing to disease development and modern strategies for infection control. The findings indicate that early diagnosis, timely antimicrobial therapy, and effective preventive interventions play a crucial role in improving maternal outcomes and reducing postpartum complications.
