Original publication title: Endometritis: Nontraditional Therapies.
Plain-English summary
Endometritis is when the lining of a mare's uterus becomes inflamed, which can make it hard for her to get pregnant. Sometimes, the usual treatments don't work well, so alternative therapies can be tried to help manage this condition. This article looks at different nontraditional treatments that might be used for broodmares and shares both personal stories and scientific findings that support these options. The goal is to provide more choices for managing endometritis effectively.
Abstract
Endometritis is characterized by inflammation of the endometrial lining of the uterus and is a leading cause of subfertility in broodmares. When traditional therapies fall short, nonconventional means can be used either to supplement or in lieu of customary practices to manage endometritis. This article reviews alternative therapies available for use in broodmare practice and provides anecdotal and scientific evidence supporting their use.
