Definition: The term 'amniotitis' refers to a condition where the uterus or cervix inflates due to infection, causing inflammation and swelling around the membranes. The exact cause varies from person to person; however, it can be caused by several factors such as pelvic infections, uterine infections, or an endometriosis-related complication. The main symptoms include pain in the lower abdomen, discomfort during sexual activity, and sometimes bloody spotting or vaginal discharge.
