Postpartum endometritis refers to the infection of the endometrium which lines the uterus. It is of two kinds : acute and chronic. It has a higher chance of occurring after a caesarean delivery. It is caused by bacteria that are usually present in the vagina. During childbirth procedures like vaginal examination, push them into the upper genital tract or abdominal cavity resulting in infection.
