Puerperal Sepsis
Puerperal Sepsis is a serious infection that can occur in women after childbirth. It typically arises from bacteria entering the body during or after delivery, leading to inflammation and infection of the uterus and surrounding tissues. Symptoms may include fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, and abdominal pain.
Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent complications. Antibiotics are commonly used to combat the infection, and in severe cases, additional medical interventions may be necessary. Early recognition and management of puerperal sepsis can significantly improve outcomes for affected women.
