Medical Conditions - Endometritis

Endometritis is an inflammation or irritation of the endometrium (lining of the uterus). An infection causes endometritis in the uterus. It can also be due to chlamydia, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, or a mix of normal vaginal bacteria. However, it is more likely to occur after miscarriage or childbirth, long labor, or C-section. Symptoms of endometritis may include swelling of the abdomen, abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, discomfort with bowel movement, fever, uneasiness, and uterine pain. In most cases, the condition goes away with antibiotics. However, untreated endometritis can lead to more serious infections and complications.
