Endometritis

Among the more common reasons are hormone imbalance caused by your body secreting too much estrogen or not enough progesterone; the effects of hormone pills; fibroids; polyps; adenomyosis (see page 209); infection; abnormal growth of the uterine lining (endometrium); chronic endometritis (inflammation or infection of the lining of the uterus); and thyroid hormonal changes. ❋ M.D. Vivian Pinn (2006)

The causes of miscarriages are many: Disease of the embryo, imperfect fetal development, some constitutional disease of the mother, a faulty position of the uterus, or it may result from something unusual about the lining of the uterus such as an endometritis -- an inflammation of the mucus membrane. ❋ William S. Sadler (N/A)

(_Medical Standard_, Dec., 1896), considers that unsatisfied sexual desire is an important cause of catarrhal endometritis. ❋ Havelock Ellis (1899)

From an examination it appeared that a neglected lacerated cervix during the birth of the last child had given rise to endometritis, and for a year the patient had suffered from severe menorrhagia, for which she was subsequently treated. ❋ Unknown (1896)

If the healthy ovule is formed, and passes into the uterus, the latter does not allow its imbedding, on account of severe endometritis, profuse secretion, etc. ❋ Unknown (1877)

She had been married at the age of twenty-two, and since the birth of her last child had suffered much from various uterine troubles, described to me by her medical attendant as 'ulceration, perimetritis, and endometritis.' ❋ John K. [Editor] Mitchell (1871)

Ascending infection of the upper female genital tract with Gram-negative bacteria causes pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or endometritis in women, with the influx of neutrophils and macrophages leading to accumulation of pus in the uterine lumen ❋ I. Martin Sheldon Et Al. (2010)
