PERIMETRITIS Meaning and Definition

1. Perimetritis is a medical term that refers to the inflammation or infection of the tissue lining the peritoneum, which is the thin membrane that covers the abdominal cavity and organs within it. This condition specifically involves the inflammation of the tissue in the area surrounding the uterus, known as the parametrium.

   Perimetritis is usually caused by an underlying infection, such as a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like gonorrhea or chlamydia. It can also occur due to complications from childbirth, such as a cesarean section or other invasive procedures involving the uterus.

   Symptoms of perimetritis may include abdominal pain, particularly on one side of the lower abdomen, along with fever, pelvic discomfort, and abnormal vaginal discharge. In more severe cases, there may be an accumulation of pus in the pelvic area, known as a pelvic abscess.

   Diagnosis of perimetritis involves a thorough physical examination, along with a review of medical history and symptoms reported by the patient. Additional tests, such as pelvic ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) scan, may be conducted to evaluate the severity of the condition and to rule out other potential causes.

   Treatment for perimetritis typically involves antibiotics to address the underlying infection. In severe cases or when an abscess is present, surgical drainage may be necessary. It is important to seek prompt medical attention and treatment for perimetritis to prevent complications such as pelvic abscesses or infertility.
