What is septic miscarriage?
Septic miscarriage refers to a severe uterine infection that can occur during, before, or after a spontaneous or induced abortion. The inflammation of the endometrium and the upper genital tract, makes the area vulnerable to infection, causing sepsis. The bacterial infection occurs in the placenta with the potential risk of it affecting the uterus and other organs surrounding the pelvis. The condition can worsen if the infection enters the bloodstream, allowing it to flow throughout the body, and causing a septic shock. The body’s organs begin to deteriorate and the blood pleasure drops dangerously low.
What causes septic miscarriage?
The onset of infection or sepsis begins when the abortion takes place in non-sterile conditions. One of the factors that increase its potential risk could be an incomplete abortion when the pieces of pregnancy tissue remain inside the body. Another reason could be the onset of a bacterial infection or inflammation in the uterus during a self-induced abortion.
Symptoms of a septic miscarriage
The symptoms of septic miscarriage include a severe drop in body temperature, low blood pressure, bleeding, shaking chills throughout the body, pale arms, legs, and shortness of breath.
