Abstract
Chronic endometritis (CE) is a disease of persistent and mild inflammation in endometrium caused by many kinds of pathogens. CE is often missed during the clinical practice for the hidden symptoms or even no symptom of the patients. Histological detection of plasma cells in the stromal area of the endometrium is still the gold standard test for diagnosis of CE. The application of hysteroscopy and histological test have revealed that CE was widespread in infertility women, which is hard to be detected by routine examination, such as ultrasound and hysteronsalpingography (HSG). More and more evidences demonstrated that CE was associated with the infertility, repeated implantation failure and recurrent pregnancy loss. It has been proved that the clinical pregnancy rate and the implantation rate of IVF patients could be improved after treatment with antibiotic. The aim of this review is to address the etiology, diagnosis, treatment and current literature surrounding CE and highlight recent advances in reproduction.
