It typically affects women of reproductive age, most commonly arising as a component of postpartum endomyometritis following labor or cesarean delivery, or after invasive intrauterine gynecologic procedures Pathophysiologically, the organism ascends from the lower genital tract or perineal flora into the uterine cavity, triggering mucosal inflammation characterized by neutrophilic infiltration or plasma cell proliferation

It typically affects women of reproductive age, most commonly arising as a component of postpartum endomyometritis following labor or cesarean delivery, or after invasive intrauterine gynecologic procedures

Pathophysiologically, the organism ascends from the lower genital tract or perineal flora into the uterine cavity, triggering mucosal inflammation characterized by neutrophilic infiltration or plasma cell proliferation Clinically, affected patients often present with fever, lower abdominal and pelvic pain, uterine tenderness, and abnormal or malodorous vaginal discharge, with potential complications including pelvic abscess, peritonitis, sepsis, and impaired future fertility if untreated
