Can endometritis cause myometritis?

Patient's question:

I have had endometritis for a long time. The urine is quite red when I urinate, and the discharge has a very unpleasant odor. My periods often come late, and I have abdominal pain during menstruation. Each period is very heavy, and I always have a lot of discharge. Sometimes I also have chills.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, inflammation of the uterine body is mainly characterized by endometritis. If the inflammation cannot be effectively controlled and progresses to a severe stage, it can affect the uterine muscle layer, leading to uterine myometritis. The latter is an extension of endometritis, and simple uterine myometritis without endometritis is essentially non-existent.
