INFLAMMATION OF THE WOMB, METRITIS.
True parenchymatous metritis, or inflammation of the deeper tissue and substance of the womb, is a disease comparatively rare. It must be distinguished from endometritis, or inflammation of the mucous coat of the womb, which has just been described; and also from peritoneal metritis or more properly puerperal peritonitis, inflammation of the peritoneal or serous coat of the womb and peritoneum generally. This latter disorder usually arises subsequent to parturition, and will receive attention in its proper place.
Inflammation of the womb may be acute or chronic; and in either form may attack the uterus in each of the different conditions of female life. It may be confined to the cervix uteri, as in fact it is in a great proportion of the cases, especially in the chronic form; or it may extend also to fundus. It may be restricted to the proper tissue or substances of the uterus; or it may also involve either its serous covering, or its mucous lining, or both. Acute inflammation of the uterus is seldom seen before puberty, never, perhaps, except as the consequence of mechanical injury. It very seldom appears in the virgin uterus, during pregnancy, or after the change of life. It is much more common in the married state; and in connection with parturition.
