    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Pathology
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Endometrial biopsy is crucial for diagnosing infertility causes.
    • Endometritis, inflammation of the uterine lining, is a significant factor in infertility.
    • This review categorizes endometritis into acute, chronic, and fibrotic types.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the pathologic entities of endometritis.
    • To discuss the histologic features of acute, chronic, and fibrotic endometritis.
    • To highlight the role of endometritis in infertility.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on endometritis and infertility.
    • Categorization of endometritis into acute, chronic, and fibrotic forms.
    • Discussion of histologic features and etiologies for each type.

    Main Results:

    • Acute endometritis is typically bacterial, short-lived, and rarely causes long-term infertility.
    • Chronic endometritis has diverse causes (bacterial, viral, parasitic, nonspecific, tuberculous) and is an uncommon infertility cause.
    • Fibrotic endometritis (intrauterine adhesions) is linked to infertility and may result from chronic inflammation.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis of endometritis requires close collaboration between clinicians and pathologists.
    • Understanding the distinct types of endometritis aids in evaluating infertile patients.
    • Histopathologic examination of endometrial tissue is vital for patient benefit.
