- Open pyometra is named for the condition in which the cervix stays open and the infection drains out from the uterus through the vagina. A classic sign of open pyometra is purulent, foul-smelling discharge from the vulva.
- In closed pyometra, the cervix is sealed and the infection is trapped in the uterus. Closed pyometra will progress quicker and is more severe because the infectious discharge accumulates within the uterus with no escape. As no discharge is visible, it is easier to miss a diagnosis.
