Endometritis
Endometritis usually begins as a localized infection at the placental site; however, can
spread to involve the entire endometrium. Assessment for signs of endometritis may reveal
a fever, elevated pulse, chills, anorexia, fatigue, pelvic pain, uterine tenderness or
foul-smelling profuse lochia.
