Metritis is inflammation of the endometrium with disruption of its functions. The cause of both acute and chronic metritis is infection. In modern conditions, endometrial inflammation is most often caused by a specific infection, the causative agents of which are gonococcus, Trichomonas, and fungi.

Chronic metritis can occur after abortion, childbirth complicated by bleeding, in the presence of endometriosis, ovarian cystosis, etc. In this case, the trophism of the mucous membrane is disrupted
