are infections that occur following childbirth, commonly involving the reproductive organs or surgical incision sites.
puerperal infections
is inflammation of the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, typically caused by bacterial infection.
endometritis
is a bacterial infection that affects the perineal area, commonly occurring following childbirth, surgery, or trauma.
infection of the perineum
is inflammation of the peritoneum, the membrane lining the abdominal cavity, typically caused by bacterial infection.
peritonitis
is inflammation of the lining of a blood vessel.
phlebitis
is inflammation with the formation of blood clots.
is classified as either superficial vein disease (SVD) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
thrombophlebitis
is inflammation of the femoral vein accompanied by blood clot formation, typically occurring in the leg.
femoral thrombophlebitis
is inflammation of the pelvic veins accompanied by blood clot formation, often occurring in the pelvis or lower abdomen.
pelvic thrombophlebitis
is a life-threatening condition caused by a blood clot that travels to the lungs, often originating from deep veins in the legs (deep vein thrombosis, DVT).

Study Notes
Perineal Complications
- Hematomas are collections of blood that occur in the perineal area, often following childbirth or trauma.
Infections
- Puerperal infections occur following childbirth, commonly involving the reproductive organs or surgical incision sites.
- Endometritis is inflammation of the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, typically caused by bacterial infection.
- Perineal cellulitis is a bacterial infection that affects the peritoneal area, commonly occurring following childbirth, surgery, or trauma.
Inflammations
- Peritonitis is inflammation of the peritoneum, the membrane lining the abdominal cavity, typically caused by bacterial infection.
- Vasculitis is inflammation of the lining of a blood vessel.
- Thrombophlebitis is inflammation with the formation of blood clots.
Vein Disorders
- Thrombophlebitis is classified as either superficial vein disease (SVD) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
- Femoral thrombophlebitis is inflammation of the femoral vein accompanied by blood clot formation, typically occurring in the leg.
- Pelvic thrombophlebitis is inflammation of the pelvic veins accompanied by blood clot formation, often occurring in the pelvis or lower abdomen.
Life-Threatening Condition
- Pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening condition caused by a blood clot that travels to the lungs, often originating from deep veins in the legs (deep vein thrombosis, DVT).
