Hematometer - what is it, treatment

The term "hematometer", often used in gynecology, is the accumulation of blood in the uterine cavity. This phenomenon occurs for various reasons. Let's talk about it in more detail, separately highlighting the signs of the disorder and the ways of its treatment.

How does the disease manifest itself?

Before talking about the symptoms of uterine hematomas, I would like to note that such a violation is most often associated with the presence of a mechanical obstruction in the uterine cavity, which may be a tumor, a polyp, the remaining membranes (after an abortion). In some cases, when diagnosing the cause, the girl is found to have vaginal atresia (infection). Often similar can cause and malignant processes in the reproductive organs.

If we talk specifically about the signs of hematomas, then among those most often doctors call:

• cramping pain in the lower abdomen;
• sudden, sudden cessation of monthly discharge or absence of discharge after abortion;
• increased body temperature;
• increase in the number of heartbeats;
• lowering blood pressure;
• deterioration of the general condition (fainting, dizziness).

How is the therapeutic process performed for this violation?

Having dealt with what is meant by the definition of a "hematometer" and in general, what it is, it is necessary to say about the treatment.

So, first of all doctors try to clear the uterine cavity from accumulated blood there. To this end, a prescription of drugs can be prescribed that increase the number of contractions of uterine myometrium ( Oxytocin, for example).

At the same time, hemodynamics is monitored, i. physicians monitor the departure of clusters from the uterus. In some cases, a procedure may be prescribed that involves the removal of the stored blood by a special vacuum device.

The next stage of therapeutic measures presupposes the immediate removal of the cause of the disorder (resection of the cyst, polyp, excision of the partitions, etc.).
