Septic abortion is a serious infection of the uterus that occurs shortly before, during, or after an abortion or miscarriage. It is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment. The infection can be caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Proteus vulgaris, hemolytic streptococci, staphylococci, and some anaerobic organisms like Clostridium perfringens.
Symptoms typically appear within 24 to 48 hours after the abortion and include chills, fever, vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding, and a rapid heart rate. If left untreated, septic abortion can lead to severe complications such as septic shock, peritonitis, and organ damage.
If you suspect septic abortion, it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately.
