Endometritis is a bacterial infection to the lining
(endometrium) of the uterus (womb). This type of infection can
be seen after a normal childbirth, or as a complication of an
elective abortion (or a miscarriage). Common symptoms of
endometritis include a vaginal discharge that is cloudy and/or
foul smelling. The patient will often complain of lower
abdominal pain, fever, chills and nausea (with vomiting in some
cases). Includes the administration of IV antibiotics in most
cases. An OB-GYN specialist is the expert in treating this
infection. Hospitalization is necessary in most cases of
endometritis.
