Clinical InformationClinical

  • Chronic Salpingitis

    chronic inflammation of the fallopian tube. it usually follows an acute inflammatory attack.

  • Chronic Endometritis

    a non-granulomatous or granulomatous chronic inflammation of the endometrium. causes include sexually transmitted pathogens and gynecological procedures. patients may present with irregular bleeding.

  • Non Specific Chronic Endometritis

    chronic endometritis characterized by the presence of plasmacytic infiltrates in the endometrium. there are no granulomas present.

  • Acute Endometritis

    an acute, usually bacterial infection affecting the endometrium. it is characterized by the presence of neutrophils or microabscesses in the endometrial glands. symptoms include fever, lower abdominal pain, and vaginal discharge.

  • Acute Salpingitis

    acute inflammation of the fallopian tube. it is most often caused by neisseria gonorrhoeae and chlamydia trachomatis infections. the infections usually originate in the vagina and ascend to the fallopian tube. symptoms include abdominal, pelvic, and lower back pain, pain during ovulation and sexual intercourse, fever, nausea, and vomiting. complications include infertility and ectopic pregnancy.

  • Pelvic Peritonitis

    inflammation of the peritoneum surrounding the pelvic organs.

Patient EducationClinical

Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It is most common in young adults. The bacteria that cause gonorrhea can infect the genital tract, mouth, or anus. You can get gonorrhea during vaginal, oral, or anal sex with an infected partner. A pregnant woman can pass it to her baby during childbirth.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
