Endometritis Post-abortion

**Endometrium after abortion** is one of the possible inflammatory processes that can develop after an unplanned medical abortion. This condition may occur within a few days or weeks after the procedure, but if left untreated can lead to serious complications.

Postcoital infectious endometritis occurs in patients of reproductive age after various methods of terminating intrauterine pregnancy (medical abortion or surgery). **Postcoital infection** caused by pathogenic microorganisms begins after artificial termination of pregnancy and goes away after 7-10 days. This type of endometritis is called **endometritis after medical and surgical abortion** by doctors. If endometritis occurs after natural (passive) childbirth, then it is called **postpartum inflammatory process**.
