    Puerperal sepsis is defined as infection of the genital tract occurring within the first 6 weeks postpartum. It is a leading cause of maternal mortality, especially in developing areas. The infection is usually caused by pathogens entering the body through lacerations during childbirth. Symptoms include fever, abdominal pain, and local signs of infection. Diagnosis is confirmed through laboratory tests and examination to determine severity and guide treatment, which typically involves hospitalization, intravenous antibiotics, and drainage of abscesses if present. Proper antenatal care, infection prevention during labor and delivery, and active postpartum management can help reduce risk of puerperal sepsis.
